Chapter 470 Chapter 470: Those who come can still pursue 【Seeking a monthly ticket】
"Cough cough cough—cough cough—"
Weak coughing came intermittently from the side of the backyard. The woman sleeping in the outer room heard the movement and got up with her clothes on. Candles were lit up in the house, dispelling the heavy and cold darkness. When you get closer, you can still hear the patient's whispering.
"Water, water...water..."
The woman said warmly: "The water is coming."
As he spoke, he carefully lifted the patient on the bed so that she could tilt her head sideways and sip the warm water in small sips. As the liquid trickled down the throat, the burning dryness was temporarily relieved. She moved her lips, from a small mouth to a big mouth.
After a while, a bowl of warm water bottomed out.
The patient also regained consciousness slightly.
"Dare to ask your benefactor..."
She remembered clearly that she was rescued during the day.
is the one who is taking care of her now.
"I don't dare to be a benefactor. Speaking of it, the girl helped the slave's family out of the siege with a word of kindness back then, but now she is just reciprocating." She carefully put the patient down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and said softly, "The day girl is seriously ill. I haven't had time to tell—the slave family has reported the girl's background to the parents here. The parents are kind and forgiving, and told the girl to rest assured to recover here."
Hearing that his background was reported, the patient's heart tightened, and he felt a little relieved after listening to the next sentence.
She is also sensible and aware of her identity.
"When I recover from the illness, I will bid farewell to the master's family. The master's family is kind, but I can't 'repay my kindness' and bring trouble to the family." She was weak and had a severe fever. She said such a long word in one breath, and her voice came out strongly Itchy, coughing again.
Maybe I slept a lot during the day.
At this moment, no matter how dizzy she was, she couldn’t fall asleep. Seeing that she couldn’t fall asleep, the woman was also worried that the other party would wake up in the middle of the night, so she hugged the quilt and slept not far away to take care of her. She took the initiative to provoke the topic: "Why is the girl here?"
This girl is a noble daughter of Xiaocheng.
His father has a high position and authority, holding a heavy army.
And she?
Although she was born in a famous family, her father's line is in decline, and her father is a person with high eyesight and low power. Seeing that her daughter was born well at such a young age, she couldn't help but be moved.
First of all, he clings to the uncle of the clan, brazenly raises her in the uncle's house, allows her to read and write, privately hires a teacher who is proficient in dance and music to teach her, and builds her reputation for her, so as to get a good marriage. However, the world is unpredictable, and it is a blessing and a curse.
Patient: "I have no relatives and no reason, I came from begging all the way."
Her voice is hoarse and her tone is calm.
In fact, the suffering suffered by others is beyond the imagination of outsiders.
The woman sighed when she heard the words.
"What about you? After Xiaocheng, how are you doing?"
She had no impression of women before.
But the woman said "a kind word", coupled with the other party's outstanding appearance, finally found a fragment in the corner of the memory.
The other party is a dancer who has been well-known far and wide before she officially appeared on stage, a beauty that many young people have been looking forward to. Although such a famous name brought her a lot of pursuit, it also caused the resentment of the women behind these men who had been neglected for many years.
Among them, a woman from a good family came to the door with a group of servants and guards, threatening to tear her skin, strip her clothes and throw them on the street for passers-by to watch and admire.
Patient met by chance, stop it.
Beauty is not the fault of dancers.
The flies that smell the smell are hateful!
The woman smiled and said: "Fortunately, the parents are considerate people, and they have treated the slave family well in the past two years. There is no serious head in the house, and life is much better than before."
Patient said: "This is a blessing in disguise."
The woman was stunned for a moment, and sighed: "If tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng can be spared from being slaughtered, it's okay not to have this blessing."
Her life was bitter.
It’s the same if it’s worse.
When she was ten years old, because her uncle was implicated in her family, she was not a lowly citizen. Not to mention that the marriage fell through, her future husband's family feared her like a snake and scorpion, and they were eager to get rid of the relationship. Never thought of a little old love to rescue her. She had to rely on her face and talent, plus her sweet mouth, to be liked by the boss, who was regarded as a "rare commodity" and carefully taught piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, especially singing and dancing.
If nothing happened to Xiaocheng...
I'm afraid, at this time, she is already the "No. 1 Dancer" pursued by the romantic talents in Sibao County. Is the treatment that Israel received in exchange for serving others considered an honor? Those literati and aristocratic families are young, and their sweet words are just for a kiss.
will reveal naked worldly desires.
She is young, she is first-class, once Chunhua gets old—ah, her beauty and figure will be destroyed by the years, but these celebrities, scribes, and aristocratic families will not have the power and status when they are young, and they will go after the next young newcomer who is just right.
Life is full of impermanence.
Two young women whispered late at night.
Speaking of suffering, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Boom boom boom.
The clear knock on the door sounded in the night.
The patient's nerves are tense.
The woman put on her clothes, stood up and looked at the silhouette on the window.
whispered: "It's the parents, girl, don't worry."
At this moment, the patient realized in embarrassment that he was living in the room of his benefactor, and the parents of the mansion were outside, so he was the one who spoiled the scenery. The woman stood up and opened the door, and there was indeed Gong Xichou standing outside the door. It's just that she keenly noticed that the other person's aura was a little low, which was something she had known for so long and had never seen before. She guessed in her heart, could it be that something bad happened to the parents?
Gong Xiqiu's eyes fell to another place.
The woman realized, closed the door, and followed him.
"The general came late at night, do you have some important orders?"
This never happened.
Even if outsiders defaulted to the woman as a concubine in Gongxi Qiu's house, even if the man had been stingy and didn't give him a title, there was only one mistress in the house, with a different status. Only the woman knows well that the young general is devoted to martial arts and has no heart for men and women.
Even if there is, the woman has to be able to withstand the beating, and if she can't be beaten to death or Gong Xichou is beaten to death, she can meet the criteria for choosing a mate.
Gong Xiqiu said after a long time: "You pack your things these two days, and I will send my confidants to send you away from here to a very safe place, where you can live in seclusion with peace of mind, and you will be safe."
The woman was stunned: "Sent away from here? The general..."
Gong Xiqiu frowned: "There are some private matters to be dealt with, no matter whether they are successful or not, the waves they create will send you to the Palace of the King of Hell for a report. I don't want to harm you."
Although the two have no love for each other, they have been together for a long time, and their hearts are exchanged, and Gong Xiqiu gradually regards her as a sister. Since they are brothers and sisters, it is only natural for her to arrange a way out for her.
Women hear the seriousness of the problem.
I wanted to open my mouth and say I would stay, but I found bitterly that I couldn’t lift my shoulders or hands, and staying was a burden.
"Okay, when the general is completed, how can I find you?"
"You don't need to look for it anymore." Gong Xiqiu said indifferently, "This kind of day mixed with **** storms is not suitable for you."
The woman felt a pain in her heart.
Feel powerless.
Gong Xiqiu looked at the moonlight: "That's where I grew up, it's my hometown, maybe you can bring new life to it."
"Can't the general do it?"
"You don't understand, I should have died on the day when the clan was exterminated. I violated God's will and prayed to God to let me live until now. For so many years, relying on the fact that I was not restrained by the old stick of the clan, and the things that were expressly prohibited by the clan monument, I almost did it all over the place. I can't go back to that piece of homeland with my body." Gong Xiqiu said calmly, "You don't need to be too sad, just wait for the body to be free, and the wanderer's soul will return to her embrace under the guidance of God."
Women don't understand the story behind Gong Xichou's words.
but-
"My slave is bold, can the parents give me a name?"
Gong Xiqiu looked at her puzzled.
But still fulfill her request.
Speaking of-
I don't seem to have ever asked her name.
pondered for a while.
said: "Then call 'come', how about it?"
ψ(｀)ψ
The woman's name comes from the Analects of Confucius: those who go can't be persuaded, but those who come can still be pursued.
The past is irreversible and dissuaded, and the future has time to prevent and fight for it.
