Chapter 95 095: The Wind in the Forest 【Ask for a monthly ticket】
"You, don't come over—"
The little girl was so frightened that she came back to her senses, holding a golden hairpin that was not threatening and pointed at the two of them with trembling hands. She probably realized this too, and turned the head of the hairpin against her chin. The top of the golden hairpin has been polished, and only a little red mark is left when it sinks deep into the skin.
Whether it is used to threaten people or commit suicide is not easy to use.
Shen Tang: "I won't go, you come out."
The little girl shook her head with a pale face: "No!"
Eyes full of fear suddenly rolled down crystal clear tears.
She blinked, trying to clear her tear-covered vision, and the tears rolled down more tightly. The beads rolled from the round and milky cheeks to the chin, and after gathering, they dripped one by one. I have to admit that the beauty's tears are really soft-hearted.
Zhai Le stood aside and sneered: "Brother Shen, you have been rejected."
A girl in distress needs tenderness and comfort.
Talking bluntly will only scare people.
Shen Tang tilted his head and thought for a while, then made a swift move, grabbed the little girl by the collar and lifted her out of the box. The little girl had a stubborn temper, even though she was terrified to the extreme, she did not give up struggling, her fingers trembling, she grabbed the golden hairpin tightly.
Zhai Le approached, and the smile in Tao Hua's eyes rippled like ripples: "Hi girl, I and brother Shen are both good people."
The little girl endured the trembling of her teeth!
She doesn't believe this nonsense.
Zhai Le asked again: "The girl's surname is Lin?"
The little girl shrank back, her gaze inadvertently glanced at the corpses lying on the ground, and her round eyes opened again in shock. She didn't even care about the presence of Shen Tang and the others, she grabbed the golden hairpin and almost staggered, crawled and rolled towards it.
He stared straight at the warm and soft corpse.
The eyes that should have been pure had a bit of something called "hatred". Regardless of the dirty blood, he wiped off the blood on the corpse's face with his bare hands, and wiped it with his sleeve for easy identification. After confirming that it was correct, he quickly inserted the golden hairpin into the eye socket of the corpse.
Zhai Le gasped, raised his hand to cover his eyes.
Relying on the burning hatred, hundreds of times in a row, both eye sockets of the corpse were smashed into scum by gold hairpins, and the eyeballs were smashed into blood foam, and she sat back as exhausted.
Two gangsters waiting to move the corpse: "..."
Almost jumped up and hugged each other, shivering.
After a long time, the little girl came back to her senses.
She clenched her back molars tightly, suppressing the fear of digging a bottomless pit in her heart, got up and straightened her sleeves, and coldly looked at her round oval face—it was obviously childish, but it deliberately squeezed out a bit of maturity—and stepped forward In two steps, he crossed his hands at Shen Tang and said two blessings deeply.
"Thank you benefactor for avenging the 24 members of my Lin family."
Zhai Le on the side raised his eyebrows.
He clapped his hands and smiled, "Young lady is so brave."
The little girl's bloodless face turned paler.
Shen Tang raised his foot to kick Zhai Le.
"Why are you scaring people when you have nothing to do?"
Zhai Le jumped away: "How can I scare you? It's clearly a compliment."
Although I don't know the inside story, I can guess two or three points. An eight or nine-year-old child watched his relatives slaughtered by the guards at home, and the corpses were thrown into the mountains. The degree is not easy.
At least, courage is commendable.
Shen Tang kicked back the lid of the wooden box and used it as a stool.
"Where are you from? What happened before? But there are other relatives? Why did you just hide in the wooden box?"
Zhai Le reminded: "Ask more tactfully."
Shen Tang slammed his eyes, he had the illusion of being glared at by his brother Zhai Huan for a moment, and subconsciously chose to shut down the microphone.
Zhai Le: "..."
No, he is obviously the "brother"!
Seeing that Shen Tang was not malicious for the time being, the little girl relaxed her tense nerves a little, grabbed the golden hairpin, her nails were almost embedded in the palm of her hand, and forced herself to answer: "The little girl's surname is Lin, and her ancestral home is Lingzhou. She is with Chongci and Jiaci. , concubine, uncle, brothers and sisters, and a group of maids and women, went south to visit relatives. Who would have thought that the servants on the way would have a wicked heart, murder and steal money..."
Including her, there are twenty-five people in total.
"There are so many female family members walking outside, and only one male follow? This is really..." Zhai Le frowned upon hearing this, the world is so chaotic, to guard against foreign enemies as well as internal thieves, he only sent an elder "uncle" to escort, and "uncle" of unknown age Brother", the heart is too big.
Who would have thought that the guard who had been using it for seven or eight years would suddenly turn back? The leader of the guard is also highly trusted, and he has saved the life of the Patriarch.
"...Because of being naughty, playing with her sisters, she escaped by hiding in a wooden box." She often fights with her sisters at home, and occasionally hides in a wooden box to avoid being found. The elders were worried, so they opened her two wooden boxes Dark holes for easy ventilation. Waking up from the wooden box, she was still wondering why no one had found her.
Use that hole to peek out, only to see the servant raising the butcher knife at her relatives. The old, weak, women and children couldn't even fight back, and including the seriously injured brother-in-law, all died.
The only thing she can do is cover her mouth and swallow the crying.
But she knew she would be caught.
Getting more and more desperate.
Unexpectedly, the peak will turn around.
"The others are already... Only the little girl is alive... Huh..." She wiped away her tears and tried to sniff her nose, so as not to drip down her nose and stain her nose with blush.
He pursed his mouth again and tried to swallow his emotions back, but the more he held back, the more sour he became, and finally he couldn't help it. The tears collapsed all over the line, like pearls with broken strings falling one by one, so pitiful.
Shen Tang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Besides the relative who went south to seek refuge, do you have any other relatives who can take refuge? It's better to be closer..."
The little girl stood on the spot and shook her head, looking confused. She really didn't know what to do now, and she had nothing to rely on.
Zhai Le sighed: "It's so pitiful, why don't I accept it too."
Shen Tang wanted to poke a few holes for him with the sword.
"What's the charge? How old is she?"
Zhai Le: "...???"
He jumped up suddenly, his voice rising seven or eight degrees: "I'm saying that I want you to keep her by your side as a servant girl, at least it's a way to survive. If there is a chance to find relatives again in the future, brother Shen, where are you thinking?" ? Don't you think it's the 'receipt'?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She couldn't help covering her face.
Well, she is unhealthy.
Shen Tang adjusted his mood and coughed lightly to ease the embarrassment.
"Did you hear it too? Do you want to go home with me first? When the situation stabilizes, then contact your other family members or go south to find relatives? You are too young to live alone."
The little girl bowed her head and thought for a long, long time.
Nodding vigorously with tears in his face.
"Thank you benefactor."
It's just that he still hesitates to speak, and seems to be in a dilemma.
Shen Tang guessed what she wanted to say, and said, "Wait for dawn! It's too dangerous to search in the dark at night, so you can just pray that those wild beasts are not hungry, or leave a complete skeleton."
In this era, eight or nine-year-old children can be treated as adults. When their loved ones die tragically, they also know how to restrain their bones and put them in the ground for peace.
"Thank you benefactor."
The little girl bowed deeply again, very grateful.
said again: "My slave's nickname is Anan."
"Didn't take a big name?"
The little girl said nothing.
Shen Tang: "Then I presume to choose one? It's not convenient to use a nickname. If your surname is Lin, you might as well name it 'Feng', Lin Feng."
Zhai Le: "Lin Feng? This is too manly."
Shen Tang rolled his eyes.
"Do you know what is 'Wind in the Woods'?"
The wind under the forest: Refers to a strange woman who is capable, talented, poetic, and graceful.
I bought a set of Shishuoxinyu, and I found it quite interesting when I searched for it a while ago.
(But the content is really hard to remember, anyway, I don’t remember any of them, and I feel sleepy after flipping through them, a hypnotic artifact).
Coincidentally, I turned to the second volume of "Xianyuan" and found the sentence "Ms. Wang's expression is relaxed, so she has the atmosphere of the forest; Mrs. Gu's heart is pure and beautiful, she is naturally a beauty in the boudoir", so I think it is not bad to be named Lin Feng (although I heard it It's really manly).
In terms of characters, I originally wanted to take "Lingxian". To be heard is to be hoped; a sage has many talents. But I found it weird to be together, and I immediately remembered it (I am about to run to the third year, and my memory is much worse than before), Lingxian is someone who honors other people's wives (such as Lingci, Lingtang, respectfully address other people's mother and father ), hesitate to change one.
