[Yi Tian] It's not easy to be famous and decent

After the winter solstice, it snowed heavily for several days in a row. Every day in the city of Hangzhou, dead bodies can be seen being transported out of the city and buried in mass graves indiscriminately, without even being wrapped in a straw mat.Winter is an extremely difficult season for livestock, so why not for the southerners under Emperor Yuan Shun's rule?Because the weather is really bad, there are few pedestrians on the frozen road, and Ruan Niang's private nest has not been opened for several days.One day, she took advantage of the snow to urinate and went to the prison gate to collect some charcoal, but when she walked halfway, the sky suddenly turned dark, and heavy snow fell down one after another, covering the entire city of Hangzhou in plain white in the blink of an eye. .

Not long after, the snow was deep enough to the ankles, Ruan Niang was holding Dian's Tan Shen and rushed back with one foot and one shallow foot, but unexpectedly kicked a human leg at the entrance of the alley.It turned out that this alley was always full of sundries, today it was snowing heavily and the sky was dark, Ruan Niang didn't see clearly for a while, and she didn't even notice that there was a person lying here.Human life is not as good as a dog in troubled times, but Ruan Niang is used to seeing it, but she is not frightened, she just thinks that another one has frozen to death.She was just about to avoid the dead body, but the snow-covered fingers of the dead body suddenly moved.

Ruan Niang hurriedly squatted down, stretched out her hand to wipe off the snow that covered the man's body, only then realized that the man lying on the ground turned out to be a handsome young man, his body was hot and smelled of alcohol, his brows were furrowed as if there was an indescribable expression depression.At this moment, the young man is completely unconscious and has a fever again. If he freezes in the snow all night, even if he doesn't die tonight, he will die tomorrow.Ruan Niang saw that although he was wearing unlined clothes but neatly dressed, she reached into his arms and groped around, but she didn't find a single copper coin.She withdrew her hand resentfully, and said in a low voice: "So you are poor!" Just as she was about to turn around and leave, there was a sudden "crack" under her feet, as if she had kicked something heavy.She stretched out her hand to push away the snow on the ground, and suddenly saw a long sword tied around the boy's waist.

Curiously, Ruan Niang untied the long sword and held it in her hand. The weight in her hand was extremely heavy, maybe it would weigh more than ten catties.He drew the sword out of its sheath, but saw that the blade was as cold as frost and shining brightly, and the hilt was engraved with two seal characters of "Hanguang".Ruan Niang was overjoyed, and said to herself: This is really a valuable thing!He quickly put it in his arms, and sneaked back home, as if nothing had happened.After a while, the closed door was opened again, Ruan Niang came out again, looked down at the boy for a while, finally sighed, took his arm and dragged him back to her home.

On the second day, the sky cleared up.Ruan Niang brought the long sword to the pawnshop and pawned five taels of silver for herself to buy some rice, grain, salt and tea.After that, I lingered in front of the medical center for a long time, and finally gritted my teeth and went in to ask the doctor to prescribe the cheapest cassia twig soup.The boy she picked up burned all night yesterday, he kept clenching his teeth, and couldn't even feed him water, it looked bad.Prescribing side effects to him is considered as the utmost benevolence. Whether he can survive or not depends on himself.

It was only two days later that Ruan Niang realized that she was soft-hearted for a while, but she picked up a hot potato.She is a private prostitute, and she is in the flesh business.Now that there is a man lying in the house, she can't open the house no matter what.It's just that at this time, the boy's wind and cold have receded, half of the life has been saved, there is absolutely no reason to throw it out again.Ruan Niang had no choice but to take care of him with all her heart, hoping that he would wake up and leave as soon as possible.

Mother Ruan was born with a hard life, and her mother died at a young age, and she brought her younger brother to live with her father.When she was ten years old, life could not go on, so her father had to sell her.It's just that this father was too cruel, and sold her into a brothel for a high price.She had lived in Zhang Shuwei's land for more than ten years in the brothel, and she was old and frail. Seeing that she was still obedient, the bustard promised her to redeem herself.She married a bricklayer with a little money of her own, but after only two years, her husband fell seriously ill, and Ruan Niang spent all her savings and failed to cure him.What can a woman do if she has no one to rely on but resume her old career?In today's world, where everyone suffers, her suffering is nothing.

When Ruan Niang was sold, the youngest brother in the family was only four years old, but now she should be about the same age as this young man. She took care of this young man day and night, and after a long time, she treated him like her own younger brother, a little dependent on each other. .Seeing that he was sweating from the high fever, and even wet his clothes, he fetched water to wipe his body.Ruan Niang saw that this young man was so good-looking at first, but she only thought he was the son of a rich family. She didn't realize until she untied his clothes that there were many sword wounds crisscrossing his body, especially the arrow wound on his right shoulder. It's not long since the scabs have formed, and the skin is extremely tender, as if it will be scratched with a little force.Thinking of the long sword he was equipped with, Ruan Niang realized that this boy's background might not be simple.It's just that he has a calm personality and has been in a coma. Ruan Niang saw him frowning in pain several times, but she never heard him moan, so naturally she couldn't ask anything.

Ruan Niang took good care of the young man and did not open for several days, but Lai San, who collected the bill, still came to the door on time.This Lai San was just a hard worker at first, he was too lazy to work, so he simply joined the beggars' gang.He is good at flattering and making money, and soon won the favor of the elder who presides over the beggar gang's Hangzhou branch.As for Lai San's way of getting money, naturally, he would ask these helpless private prostitutes for money every ten days, and occasionally ask them to accompany him.If you don't obey, at least a dozen dirty and smelly beggars will be found to sing the lotus flower in front of your door; at worst, they will come to your door to rob and bully you, and you will always be desperate and obedient.This is probably the so-called poor and short-sighted people, and poor and lowly people go to find even poorer and lowly people to oppress them, so as to appear that they are not so low.

When Lai San heard that Ruan Niang said that he had no money to ask him to wait for a few days, his eyes widened. Just as he was about to speak, a scent suddenly wafted from the kitchen.Lai San twitched his nose and sniffed twice, then suddenly pushed Ruan Niang away and walked towards the kitchen.When I opened the casserole on the stove, I saw that there was still a whole chicken stewed in the casserole. "Niang Ruan, didn't you say you have no money? How can you still eat chicken?" Lai Sanla asked in a long voice, tearing off a chicken leg by himself as he spoke, and only one bone was left in the chicken leg after three or two bites .

Ruan Niang felt a pain in her heart, she naturally stewed this chicken for the boy she picked up.The boy lay in bed for three days, only drank two bowls of medicine and half a bowl of water, and his body was soaked with sweat. Seeing that he was skinny, Ruan Niang was afraid that he would starve to death if he was not sick, so she gritted her teeth and bought him a dog. Chicken stew.Listening to Lai San's question, Ruan Niang hurriedly pleaded: "Third Master, my younger brother is back, he is very sick, I really... Please do me a favor, give me a few days!"

"Brother? You also have a brother?" Lai Sanqi asked, "Your brother?" His question was extremely obscene. Either shame or anger.He tore off another chicken leg and said as he walked, "It's really eye-opening!"

Ruan Niang knew that Lai San was not a good person, and she didn't want to cause trouble, so she hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, my brother is still sick! Master, please do me a favor..."

Ruan Niang was so anxious, Lai San was even more curious, kicked her, and shouted: "Get out!" On the ground, his face was pale and dripping with cold sweat.As for Lai San, he has already gone straight in.

As soon as Lai San walked into the room, he saw a man lying on the bed.The man was extremely thin, he seemed to be no more than ten years old, and the quilt covered him without heaving.It was the afternoon at this time, and the warm winter sun slanted in from the window, but he saw his sword-like eyebrows piercing his temples and nose, and although he looked extremely haggard and pale in illness, his delicate skin seemed to be of the finest quality. white porcelain.Lai Sansheng is a lowly man, he has never seen such a person before, even when he is lying down, he exudes a sense of dignity, which makes people know that he is not an ordinary person at a glance.He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly there was a "gudong" in his throat, he swallowed his saliva, and asked, "Mother Ruan, is he really your younger brother?"

Ruan Niang endured the pain and entered the room, trying to stand in front of the boy. "Third Master, please do me a favor, my younger brother is sick like this..."

Lai San pushed her away impatiently, stared at the boy for a moment, and said curiously: "Aren't you two born by the same mother? Your younger brother is much prettier than you!" He just thought Stretching out his hand to touch the boy's cheek, he found that his hand was still stained with the chicken fat he ate just now, and felt profane, so he quickly retracted and rubbed it back and forth twice on his body. "Niang Ruan, the third master will do a good deed today. Don't you have no money? Let your younger brother accompany me once, and we will forget about it!"

Ruan Niang was startled, she rushed over recklessly, grabbed the boy's right hand that was about to be touched by Lai San, put it on her chest, and said with a forced smile: "Master, my younger brother is still young, so let me accompany you Bar!"

However, Lai Sanse's heart was already aroused, and he pushed Ruan Niang out, and said with a lewd smile: "What's so small? It's good to be small!"

Ruan Niang was staggered by Lai San's push, but she still stood in front of the young man, pleading: "Third Master, my younger brother doesn't understand anything, he is still sick! Let me accompany you! I will accompany you!"

"Shame on you! Get out!" Lai San became angry, grabbed Ruan Niang's hair and slapped her twice, kicked her out, and locked the door.

Ruan Niang's mouth and nose were bleeding from these two slaps, but she didn't care about the pain, she hurriedly got up and slammed the door desperately, screaming: "Lai San! You're going to die! Lai San! Open the door! Lai San..."

The boy picked up by Ruan Niang and lying down for three days was none other than Song Qingshu. At this time, his fever had subsided, and Ruan Niang and Lai San had a quarrel and a fight that woke him up.Just when he opened his eyes drowsily, he saw a man with a sinister face and reached out to touch him with a lewd smile. Song Qingshu didn't know why, but felt a burst of instinctive disgust in his heart. He immediately locked his wrist and folded it hard.Hearing a crisp "click", Lai San's wrist was suddenly bent into a strange angle.

Lai San's wrist was broken, and immediately screamed, kneeling down on Song Qingshu's bedside in pain, crying with tears running down his face, "Boy! Let go! Let go! It hurts! It hurts!"

Song Qingshu threw away his wrist casually, and asked coldly, "Where is this? Who are you?"

This Lai San is a man. He has just survived the severe pain of broken bones, his forehead is still covered with sweat, and his tears have not been wiped clean. He has already raised his voice and threatened: "Boy, do you know who I am? Hurry up!" Let go! You have offended my gang of beggars, and I want you to walk around without food!"

"Beggar Gang?" Song Qingshu repeated in a low voice, and couldn't help but smile wryly.Since then, he has been reduced to such a level that a Lai Han in the beggar gang can threaten and humiliate him at will.Why is this life so similar to the previous life, but it turned out to be a gang of beggars?

Seeing Song Qingshu sitting on the bed in a daze, Lai San thought he was intimidated by the prestige of the beggar gang, and immediately clenched his fist with his left hand and punched him on the cheek.Unexpectedly, he had only punched halfway, when he was suddenly kicked in the lower abdomen, and the whole person was kicked flying, and fell heavily by the door.

Song Qingshu turned over and got out of bed, he had been lying down for several days, when he just stood up, his eyes were dark, he stretched out his hand to support the head of the bed to stand still.

Seeing Song Qingshu's haggard look and lack of energy, Lai San knew that he was indeed weak.It's just that he was still so fierce when he was sick, how could Lai San dare to attack him, he hurriedly pushed open the door bolt, and fled out scrambling.

Unexpectedly, when she went out, she saw Ruan Niang standing by the door blankly, her hair disheveled and her face covered with blood.When she saw Lai San appear, her eyes lit up immediately, and she jumped up to fight with Lai San like crazy, cursing hoarsely: "What did you do to my brother? What did you do? You beast! You are not good Death! Ah! Ah!"

Lai San was terrified by Song Qingshu, he didn't care about fighting with Ruan Niang, and only wanted to run away, but Ruan Niang bit his finger when he was careless.With a scream, he slapped Ruan Niang with all his strength, which made Ruan Niang let go. "Crazy woman! You crazy woman!" Seeing that the tooth marks on his fingers were so deep that he could even see the bones, he became even more angry and kicked Ruan Niang fiercely, until she fell to the ground Sorry, curled up on the ground into a ball.

These two kicks were being noticed by Song Qingshu who followed Lai San out. He was born in a famous family and was well-educated, so naturally he couldn't understand Lai San's behavior, so he stepped forward and kicked Lai San out again.Song Qingshu's kick was so hard that Lai San, a tall and burly man, was kicked out by him, smashed into the gate of Ruan's mother's house, and rolled in the snow outside the gate.

This time the noise was so loud that the other private prostitutes in the alley rushed out after hearing the noise.Seeing that Lai San, who was always flaunting his power, was covered in blood, and fell in embarrassment in front of Ruan Niang's gate, he couldn't help laughing and pointing at him.

Lai San saw Song Qingshu walking out with a vicious expression on his face, he hated and feared in his heart, so he bluffed and shouted: "Which way are you from, boy, show your name! I am the confidant of Elder Chen of the Beggar Gang, you I don't even ask..." Before he could finish speaking, Song Qingshu's throat was locked.The majestic seven-foot man, like a little chicken, was held up by a young man against the wall.

"You deserve to ask me my name?" Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.He saw that the women in this alley were all beautiful and not like a good family, and he already understood where he was, so he naturally understood the meaning of the look he saw when he opened his eyes.He hated and felt disgusted in his heart, so he wanted to take Lai San's life.He looked at Lai San coldly, his five fingers slowly tightened, Lai San's complexion turned from green to red, his legs were struggling in vain, he grabbed Song Qingshu's wrist and tried to pull it away, but the young man looked at him Sick and weak, but the five fingers are like cast iron.

Seeing that Lai San's complexion turned from red to white again, and slowly becoming angry, the private prostitutes realized that this handsome young man was really going to kill someone, and they couldn't help screaming: "Killer! Killer! "There was only a sound of "bang bang bang" closing the door, and the private prostitutes hid back home one after another.

Ruan Niang, who was still lying on the ground, heard the cry and hurriedly got up and walked out the door.Seeing Lai San's eyes rolled, she was startled, her whole body was almost hanging on Song Qingshu's arm, and she shouted in panic: "Brother! Let go! Don't kill him! Brother!" Hangzhou is very powerful, how can she be offended by a little private prostitute?

"Brother?" Song Qingshu looked at Ruan Niang suspiciously. Although he had no impression of Ruan Niang, he somehow guessed that Ruan Niang must have taken good care of him, so he slowly let go.

After narrowly escaping from death, Lai San slowly wilted to the ground like a puddle of mud, clutching his throat and coughing for a long time before slowly gaining some strength.Without being urged by anyone, he crawled out of the alley on all fours.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Song Qingshu didn't want him to leave easily, so he suddenly shouted.

Lai San's whole body was shaken, and he didn't dare to move any more, he just turned his head to look at Song Qingshu beggingly.

"Hand over the money." Song Qingshu said calmly.Seeing Lai San and Ruan Niang's eyes widen in astonishment, Song Qingshu just added as a matter of course, "You sleep with her, of course you have to pay! If you break the door, of course you have to pay!"

Such a handsome and extravagant young man not only beats people hard enough, but also has a dark heart!Lai San couldn't believe it, but because of Song Qingshu's lust, he didn't dare to resist, so he obediently handed over the money bag he was carrying.

Song Qingshu weighed the money bag twice in his hands, it was estimated that there were more than a dozen taels, then he waved to Lai San annoyedly.Lai San didn't dare to delay, so he fled in a hurry.

Seeing Lai San leave, Song Qingshu put the money bag in Ruan Niang's hands, and said softly: "Thank you for taking me in! But this is not a place for me to stay for a long time, so I will leave!" Hei suddenly lost consciousness.
