[New Peerless Double Pride 3] Over the years

After spending a few days with the Hall Master, I quickly discovered some of his habits, some of which could even be called faults.

Just like when he was taking a bath, he always looked like he didn't wash himself clean, rubbed his body desperately, and refused to get out of the bath even when the water was cold, always tossing himself until his skin was red and swollen.

"Hallmaster, it's already very clean," I stopped his hand, "Don't rub it anymore, it will break the skin."

He ignored me and continued to splash the water on his body, while grabbing his arm fiercely with his fingers.

"It stinks..." he said suddenly.

"It stinks?" I was taken aback for a moment, then I probed around and sniffed, "No, it's just that the smell of the medicine is a bit stronger, bear with it, you'll get used to it in two days. Well, the water is cold..." I entered the water Grab his hand, "It's time to come out."

He avoided me, "Not enough..."

"Enough is enough..."

"Go away!"

While speaking, I suddenly folded my palm back hard, only to hear a click, and my wrist was snapped.

In excruciating pain, I knelt down on the ground, but my elbows were still resting on the edge of the tub, and my fingertips were hanging in front of the man's eyes, as if they had been separated from the body parts, only an inch away from the tip of the hall master's nose.Only then did I realize that he was really merciful to me. Compared with this ups and downs, everything is just a little effort in his eyes, without showing any dew, it is enough to make me feel heartbroken .

My bone was broken, and since I was a child, I saw people screaming when they were broken, but now I can't scream, it hurts so much, I think of those martial arts people who have been in the rivers and lakes all their lives, every time they stand up, Every battle, how painful it must be...!

"Your hand..." The hall master moved slightly, and the bridge of his nose hit my fingertips, "Ah—!" I screamed, my body went limp, and my hand slipped from the edge of the tub and fell to the ground. It was a light touch that was not violent at all, but the moment it hit the ground, I took a deep breath of cold air and opened my eyes wide from the pain.

"Sun Yingyu..." The Palace Master called me, he broke my hand, of course he knew how I was hurt better than anyone else. "Sun Yingyu!" He kept calling, but when he couldn't hear any response, he stood up abruptly from the tub.

"Hall Master..." I frowned and made a sound, gritted my teeth and clenched my arm, "I..."

He looked at the place where I fell, his blank eyes seemed to be affected by the blank expression, but he couldn't see me, how fragile I was, and I couldn't bear even a little pain, he couldn't see it arrive.

"Sun Yingyu?"

Drips all over my body and tore off my clothes, and the hall master came to me in a blink of an eye. "Is it bleeding?" He bent over and asked, with a tone of anxiety that he had never felt before.

"Uh-huh……"

"I'm going to get a clean cotton cloth, wait a minute, don't move." He told me, more like a doctor than me who was speechless. The sound of something, when he came back, he quickly pressed the cotton cloth on my wrist to stop the bleeding, "Is the blood still bleeding?" He asked me after a while.

I looked at the blurred blood on my left hand, and replied tremblingly, "Stop it..."

So he let me go, got up to pick up dry firewood, chose the thickest and straightest one, tied a cloth strip to my hand to fix my wrist, and then picked me up horizontally, exuding a mixed smell of blood and licorice between.

I was placed on the stone platform, and everything was done quietly.I was in so much pain that it was almost impossible to coach him, or to heal myself.At this time, the hall master walked towards the stone door connecting the secret room and the underground passage, and knocked heavily on the door.

"Come here!" The hall master suddenly slapped the door hard and called out loudly, "Open the door, come and open the door! Is there anyone—is there anyone outside—quickly open the door—!"

The more he patted, the more forceful he was, but no one responded. The Hall Master withdrew his hand, slowly getting angry, and slapped the door with his palm—the stone chips flew up, but the impenetrable stone door just shook and remained motionless.

Another palm was stirred up, I watched from this side, and I could even see the slightest red light when the palm was fully activated, but it still didn't work, the puppet master wanted to trap us here, how could it be so Easy to get out of us?

It took a long time to knock on the door and call people. The voice of the hall master was deep and hoarse. I have never seen him yelling so disregarding his image. He has never spoken loudly to anyone, but at this moment, knocking on the door, I can imagine his anxiety, even anger, he is for me, because he hurt me.

"Uh..." I moaned in pain, causing the person by the door to turn around abruptly.

His eyes without focal length became even duller at this moment. He turned his head towards where I was, his eyes wandered up and down, not watching, but listening. He was stunned for a long time before walking towards me.

On the edge of the stone platform, he knelt down and asked me: "Can you bandage yourself?" His voice was always soft, but now the ending was hoarse.

"It's okay..." I have gradually gotten used to the pain, so I replied, "Wait, wait a while... I'll do it myself..."

"Is it all right?" he asked again. "How does it hurt?"

"...I'm fine."

"Sun Yingyu."

"...Huh?" I was in a trance from the pain, but I managed to open my eyes to look at him. His expression was the same as usual, only a little more tense, his brows were slightly frowned, and the corners of his lips were still drawn down.

"If you can cure my eyes," he said, "after you get out from here, I will allow you to leave on your own."

"What?" I was startled, I didn't even care about my injured wrist, "Hall Master, what did you say?!"

"It doesn't matter whether you go home or go anywhere, as long as you can swear not to reveal to anyone what you saw or heard in Emperor Qiu's Palace, I will not keep you in trouble."

His expression was serious, not joking at all, his eyes drooped, and if he could see it, it was my wrist tied with thick firewood branches and white cloth wet with blood.

"Do you regret? Regret for hurting me?"

He got up, walked away and sat down at the table.

……

That night, I felt hot all over my body and had a terrible headache.

The injured hand was so painful that I lost consciousness, but the feeling of being half asleep and muddled was even more uncomfortable.

The hall master's fingertips dipped in water, touched my cheek, and then fumbled, rubbing the water on my lips.

"You shouldn't meddle in your own business..." He seemed to be talking to me, but it was more like talking to himself.

Later, the puppet master prepared an extra wound medicine for me, and after a few days, I was able to walk around the ground.After all, it wasn't my ankle that hurt.

The identities of the Hall Master and I were reversed for a short time. He took care of my daily life. Although he always couldn't grasp the direction when feeding me soup and made me covered all over, I was still very happy. It was the Hall Master. No one ever The palace master who dared to approach was moody and cruel, but when I couldn't help but blame him for his clumsy hands and feet, he would hang his head shyly knowing that he was wrong.

When I asked him why he flew into a rage that day, because of my injuries, he told me the truth.

It turned out that when he said something stinky, he was referring to himself.

"There once was a fool who was just mediocre regardless of his martial arts or intelligence," he said. "One day that man was taken captive into an underground palace, where he was to be the concubine of a woman. That woman had more than 700 lovers in her life. , and never regarded the young man who abducted into the underground palace as a human being. The fool wanted to escape, so he came up with an idea...to dig a hole in the cesspit. After spending a year, he really dug out a man who could hide for several months. The burrow, it's just..." The palace master suddenly paused, as if recalling the unpleasant past, "...but, later in the underground palace came a smart man, a fool who became a concubine, but he was the queen..."

"You..." I grabbed the lord's shirt, trying to get him to speak clearly, what is called digging a cesspit - I have to admit, when I first heard it, I really thought he was joking, even almost laughing But suddenly I couldn't laugh anymore. Seeing his blank, expressionless face, I couldn't laugh anymore.

"What stupid, what smart?" I asked, "Are you stupid, or smart?"

I've guessed a few, but I don't want him at all to admit that he's the one who's been digging holes in the cesspit.

"There," the hall master said with the same voice, "the idiot also met another boy who was abducted into the underground palace at the age of 13 and lived in the underground palace for three years. Yang, but the wise man came, and the rest of the young men were jealous, only the young man came out and said something nice for him, turned around and drank, and was poisoned to death by the hated man... But this matter, the wise man will never May know..."

"Is that young man very important to you?" I asked, feeling a bit impatient to ask him to continue.

He was noncommittal, frowning slightly, as if he was about to have a headache.

"The wise man made a mistake," said the palace master. "In the underground palace, not all male pets were poisoned to death by fools. At least one of them was not."

I was stunned, "Isn't it just one person who died? Why... why are they all dead? Could it be..." I looked over in shock, and there was no need to infer. A fool is the palace lord, then everyone will be poisoned to death by the palace lord!

"This is part of the fool's plan... Once everyone dies, the crazy woman will go out to investigate suspiciously, and the fool can use the identity of the dead to hide in the secret cave where he hides. He doesn't have to worry about being discovered, and he can also take the opportunity to escape. It's just that I didn't expect that the smart people had already seen through the fool's plan and followed them into the cesspit."

"Smart people also entered the cesspit?" I was surprised, "How can that be done? The cesspit is not his!!"

The palace master seemed to be taken aback, he didn't expect me to say this, but then he laughed too, with a difficult smile and self-deprecating, "You know what the wise man said, he praised the stupid... as an admirable genius. "

I nodded, "Indeed... a genius."

The palace master shook his head slowly, "How can a genius be bought with a life that is not as good as a pig or a dog? A genius should be like a smart person, who can hide comfortably in a secret cave without doing anything. It’s—heavenly, talented, middle-of-the-day, talented!”

The Palace Master said the last few words heavily. I was terrified, but I still retorted: "That smart person is not a genius! He is clearly enjoying his own success, relying on his own intelligence but underestimating the efforts of others, that kind of person It's nothing special, I hate that kind of person the most!"

"Do you hate him?" The hall master laughed, "No woman hates him."

"No, being clever and being respectable are two different things."

The palace master just smiled and said nothing, and I asked again: "If the wise man didn't show up, would you run away with that young man who wanted to see Chu Yang?"

The Palace Master's smile froze for a moment.

He didn't answer, so I asked again: "You said you were digging holes in the cesspit, but how many times can you go to the cesspit a day, and how many times a year? Wouldn't it be suspicious if you went too much?"

The lord still didn't answer.

"If you dig a hole at a time like that... uh... then where does your... go? I think if you dig a hole, you don't have time for that kind of thing, and if you do that kind of thing, it's too late Digging, how on earth did you do it?"

"..."

"There are also traces on your body. It is impossible to dig a hole in that kind of place without getting some...and soil on your body. Unless you are naked, you can not stain your clothes, but the smell will be very smelly of……"

The hall master suddenly covered his mouth, as if he wanted to vomit.I just realized I said the wrong thing, how is that any different than forcing him to admit a little bit about how filthy he is?No wonder he thinks he stinks. Having had that experience, I think if it were me, I would rather die than admit it openly in front of others.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, especially when I saw the bloodless face and skinny shoulders of the person in front of me. I didn't know where the courage came from, but I stretched out my hand—the wrist hurt because of the turbulent movement. But it couldn't offset the sadness and depression in my heart at all. I hugged the hall master's shoulder with all my strength. He was startled and wanted to break free, but suddenly he seemed to think of my injury again, so he stopped moving.

"Why are you so thin..." Resting my chin on the other person's shoulder, I muttered, "Is it because you were abused at that time? Or did you starve on purpose... That's right, you have to work in the cesspit, of course you can't eat Too much food, I have to spit it out after eating too much..."

He didn't say anything, just let me hug me like this.

"I hate smart people more and more. They hurt people and pretend to be smart..."

"Stop talking." The Hall Master interrupted me, raised his hand and pulled my hand off his shoulder.

"I'm sorry," I lowered my head, sincerely, "I will never blame you for being slow in taking a shower..."

……

Since that day, the Palace Master confided to me a certain part of his past, and our relationship has never been as good as before.Although he was indifferent before, I always felt that he was careful and considerate. He never disputed with me on some small matters, and people would think that he was a very nice person without knowing it.

But after that day, my hand injury didn't heal, but he didn't help me change the medicine; I was thirsty to drink water, and he wouldn't go with me to get the teapot; I kicked the quilt aside, and when I woke up, I It was so cold that I sneezed again and again, only to realize that I was not covered with anything.

Why did the hall master suddenly change, he stopped talking to me from time to time, even when I pricked him with the needle point with one hand, he didn't respond.

I must have done something wrong, I thought, I must have said something wrong, or the temple master thought I looked down on him, he thought I looked down on that stupid guy who was looking for a way out in the cesspit, but I can swear to God: I No!

On the contrary, it has changed a bit. He can remember a young man who shared his troubles to this day. Although sometimes he is too vicious and treacherous, I at least find that he is not without emotion. It seems a bit too much to say that he is cold-blooded.

Although he lacked intelligence compared to that smart man, and compared to Jiang Wuque in the prison cell, he lacked broad-mindedness and deepness, but at least one thing he has that others do not have is the persistence to survive.

Some people may think that a person who does everything possible to survive is too insidious, not only that, but also think that he is greedy for life and fear of death, timid, and selfish-but I don't think so, from the doctor's point of view, even A little bit of persistence in life and life is so precious.You want to cure diseases and save people, but you see pain all day long. When you find a person in front of you who wants to live no matter what, even if he is humble, even if he is stepping on the lives of others, such a person, in fact, he did not live in vain.

The forbearance of the hall master is different from Jiang Wuque's. Maybe I am biased again, but I just feel so distressed.

Suddenly one day, I couldn't bear it any longer, so I asked the Palace Master what I always wanted to ask: "Why did you suddenly change?"

His expression was very indifferent, "Changed? How did it change?"

"You no longer..." I couldn't say it, I could only pant slightly, why didn't you cover me anymore, why did you ignore me, why did you become indifferent, why did you suddenly not allow me to approach you anymore?

As one can imagine, the conversation ended in nothingness.

The opportunity appeared much later, on that day, his eyes could see a slight light.

"Really?" I grabbed his hand with one hand, "That's great, I said it will definitely cure you, that's great!"

He moved away from me gently, but still smiled at me, "Thank you."

"No, no, no!" I shook my head desperately, I like him smiling at me, like any little girl with a big heart, seeing his smiling face will feel satisfied, as long as he is free from illness and pain, I am willing to trade the whole world.

But he still only showed that moment of joy, and soon became silent again, as if there was really nothing around him that could really make him happy.

"Why are you unhappy?" I asked myself with my left hand tied with bamboo pieces, "Why are you not happy at all?!"

The other person in the room didn't respond, so I removed the bamboo piece wrapped in cloth strips in my hand and threw it vigorously towards the corner.

"What are you doing?" he finally asked.

I pouted, throwing a tantrum like a child.

Already able to see something vaguely, the Hall Master walked over to pick up the bamboo pieces, and then walked to me, "You must be bored after being locked up here for so long." He seemed to be very considerate, "Tomorrow I will let you You go out, you can go wherever you want, you don't need to do anything for Emperor Qiu's Palace anymore."

I can't even believe my ears, I don't want to at all, I only know my current mood, I don't want to leave Emperor Qiu Palace at all!

"Why so fast?" I asked, "Your eyes are not fully healed yet, I..."

"According to this degree of injury, if the group of quack doctors can't cure them, they won't have to live anymore." At the same time that his eyes recovered, the Lord of Qiu Huangdian stood in front of me again in an instant. I knew, that The thin, blind man in white, the palace master who listened to my complaints and was nervous for me, will never come back again. Everything is temporary, the darkness is temporary, and the weakness is also temporary.

There is only infatuation, but it can be endless.

The next day, I did get out of the cell, but I said, "I'm staying because the person in the cell needs me."

The Hall Master seemed a little angry, probably because he felt that someone was taking an inch, and finally let me go, but I wanted to stay, but the anger was fleeting, and he didn't particularly care about my going or staying. "If you want to stay, you can stay," he said, "it's just that if you want to leave next time, it won't be so easy."

While he was saying this, Mrs. Hu came to pick him up.

That gentle and calm red-eyed woman, when I saw her, I was struck by a thunderbolt.

Her pupils were already red, but at this time, because of longing, her eyes were even redder. She approached and held the hand of the hall master, and there was an aura of red plums on her body, which was slightly, but also fanatically fascinated. , how can I compare, when the hall master faced her, the corners of his lips that were always tense finally relaxed slowly, when he looked at her, he was gentle.

They left together, and the puppet master stood aside and said that I couldn't take the threat at all, but I just felt-Sun Yingyu, you are so despicable!
