Chapter 185 No matter how high you hang, you are still a eunuch
Pain, very painful.
The smell of rust filled the nasal cavity, Yi Xiaochuan fell heavily on the ground, and vomited out a mouthful of blood.
The pain on his face and the concussion in his brain made him gradually wake up. He looked at Xiaoyue who was sobbing in Gao Yao's arms with a complicated expression, and his eyes met. Inserted a knife.
Yi Xiaochuan realized what he had just done.
Looking down at his hands covered in mud and filth, Yi Xiaochuan buried his head deeply, stood up staggeringly, startled the crowd, and fled out the door.
He wanted to leave, but Xiang Yu couldn't let him go.
The two of them had a life-threatening friendship, even if they didn't really become sworn brothers, Xiang Yu still regarded him as his brother, how could he ignore Yi Xiaochuan who had fallen to this point?
"Boss Gao, Xiaoyue will be taken care of by you first, I will go and chase Xiaochuan back."
Xiang Yu chased out of the store with a stride as he spoke, and stopped at the same place as soon as he took a step.
Looking down, I saw a delicate and slender Rou Yi was gently grabbing his cuff, and it only needed a struggle to break free, but it tied him in place.
"Miss Xiaoyue, I know there is a secret between you and Xiao Chuan, but he is also my brother. Seeing him like this, I can't just sit idly by." Xiang Yu gently held Xiao Yue's Rouyi, his cold and delicate The little hand trembled slightly, and subconsciously retracted.
The generous big hand was soaked with hot temperature, Xiaoyue's eyes were shining with light and she raised her eyes slightly, Xiang Yu said seriously: "This matter is no longer between you and him, but between us and him, so I must To chase him back, ask him clearly."
Before Xiang Yu finished speaking, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his hand. Looking at it again, he really wanted to pat~ Rou Yi who patted the back of his hand and opened his fingers to 'rescue' Xiaoyue from his hand.
"Brother Xiang, although I am very grateful to you for saving Xiaoyue, she is a woman who has not left the court after all. It is not good for you to make a move in broad daylight?" Gao Yao pulled out Xiaoyue's soft hand, took out a silk handkerchief After rubbing it, there was a feeling that the cabbage was about to be kicked by a pig.
Xiang Yu's palm was empty, and he shook his palm in a sense of loss, then restrained his mind and walked away from the two of them.
At this moment, Zhou Ji and the sisters of the Lu family also came down from the stairs. Seeing the painful expression on Xiaoyue's face, Susu said with a distressed expression: "Xiaoyue's shoulders and arms were grabbed so hard, they must have been bruised. Let's take her back to get some medicine first, shall we?"
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" Gao Yao was confused when he was concerned. After Su Su's reminder, he realized that he quickly supported Xiaoyue and walked towards the backyard. Zhou Ji fell over here, almost fell to the ground with Xiaoyue.
Xiaoyue let out an exclamation, but luckily Zhou Ji was by his side, grabbed Gao Yao's shoulders, and sent Xiaoyue to Lu Zhi and Susu.
"Brother, what's the matter with you?" Xiaoyue didn't care about her random thoughts at the moment. After being frightened, she came to her senses and realized that Gao Yao was only wearing one boot, and the cloth socks on the other foot were tight. There was blood, and the blood stains stretched all the way from the ground where the flagon was just smashed.
"Hiss~~ I'm fine, maybe I didn't pay attention when I came here, and I got a piece of broken porcelain, it's okay." Gao Yao winked, and gave Xiaoyue a silly smile that was uglier than crying, then hugged Zhou Ji's shoulders, Lu Zhi and Su Su laughed. "Please, both of you, take care of Xiaoyue for me. Old Zhou and I will be there soon."
Lu Zhi nodded slightly, and said helplessly, "Boss Gao will be taken care of by Mrs. Susu and I will help Xiaoyue with the medicine."
Xiaoyue looked back at Gao Yao a little uneasy. Gao Yao hugged Zhou Ji's shoulders and made a look of crossing his legs.
Took another throwing boot from the clerk, Gao Yao supported Zhou Ji's shoulders and jumped up and down behind Lu Zhi, deliberately staggering a certain distance, and sighed with a complicated expression.
After all, there are too many people, and Gao Yao is the shopkeeper of the first floor in the world. Zhou Ji dismissed the idea of carrying him on his shoulders or by his side, supported his arm and said, "Are you worried about Xiao Chuan?"
Gao Yao nodded, looked at Xiaoyue who had gone away, and sighed: "Xiaochuan is kind and optimistic, with a cheerful personality. I never thought that he would become what he is now."
"Actually, from the day I found out that he entered the palace, I found that he has changed, and he has become a little strange." Gao Yao paused, his toes slightly stepped on the ground, and there was a sharp pain from the soles of his pierced feet touching the ground. Let him shrink his feet suddenly, grinning his teeth and furrowing his eyebrows, "But I can understand that the pain he experienced is a hundred times and a thousand times worse than this. If it was me, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore."
Gao Yao talked incoherently all the way, as if he was talking with Zhou Ji, more like talking to himself.
It can be seen that he was quite angry at Yi Xiaochuan's sudden act of hurting Xiaoyue, but apart from being angry, he was more sad and heartbroken.
Back in the courtyard, Lu Zhi and Su Su had helped Xiaoyue into the room, and applied the wound medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, while Gao Yao sat in the gazebo, and asked a buddy to come over to help him disinfect and apply the medicine.
Compared with the bruises on her shoulders and arms, Xiaoyue is more concerned about Gao Yao's injuries.
She could feel that Gao Ruozuo was sincerely treating her well, and at the same time, she also regarded this foster brother as the only relative in this world.
After a brief rest, her emotions gradually calmed down. Xiaoyue hurried out of the room, took the medicine box from the clerk, and knelt down to help Gao Yao apply the medicine.
Gao Yao wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Xiaoyue, so he could only look at this woman who was exactly like Gao Lan with relief and distress, his eyes were full of emotion.
Zhou Ji looked at Susu from the side, and said softly: "How is Miss Xiaoyue's injury?"
Susu said with pity: "There are a few bruises on the arms and shoulders. My sister and I just massage them with the method taught by my husband. It shouldn't be a serious problem."
Lu Zhi next to him didn't have such a good temper, and said angrily: "This Yi Xiaochuan is really nothing, sir, you didn't see the finger marks on Xiaoyue's shoulder, how could he do it!"
While speaking, footsteps came from the front yard. Xiang Yu came from the lobby of the restaurant in a daze, looked at Gao Yao and Xiaoyue, shook his head and said, "Xiaochuan entered the palace, but he couldn't catch up."
"Without His Majesty's edict, isn't the imperial palace forbidden for foreign ministers to enter and leave the palace? Why didn't the guards stop Brother Xiaochuan when he entered the palace?" Xiang Yu thought of the words of the guards at the palace gate. Although he didn't believe it in his heart, he couldn't believe it. , He is now the CRRC government order, isn't this the job of an eunuch? Why can Brother Xiaochuan take on this job?"
Gao Yao frowned, and asked in surprise, "Brother Xiang, don't you know?"
Xiang Yu turned his head to look at Xiaoyue, Xiaoyue lowered his head, rubbed the gauze at hand, and when he looked at Gao Yao again, Gao Yao let out a long sigh, and he went to look for Liu Bang with Yi Xiaochuan, and then he was drunk by Liu Bang, Sleepwalking on the street, Xiao Chuan was filled into corvee, and he told Xiang Yu little by little what happened as an official slave.
After listening to Gao Yao's narration, Xiang Yu clenched his fist, slammed it on the stone pillar, and said indignantly, "No wonder when I saw Xiaochuan again, no matter how he looked at him, he felt that something was wrong. It turned out that he was deceived by this villain, Liu Bang, and ended up in this situation." !"
It was the first time for Xiaoyue and Lu Zhisusu to hear these things, and each showed complicated expressions, sighing endlessly.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit gloomy, Gao Yaoqiang smiled and said, "Didn't Brother Xiang say he was going to Kuaiji to look for Xiaoyue's family? I wonder if this trip will be rewarding?"
"Oh ~ yes!" Xiang Yu restrained his mind, took out a wooden box from his sleeve, and handed it to Xiaoyue, "Miss Xiaoyue, what do you think this is?"
Xiaoyue glanced at Xiang Yu, hesitantly reached out to take it, and when she opened it, it was a rather familiar silver bracelet.
Exactly the same as the one she wears on her wrist.
Xiaoyue took off her bracelet, compared it carefully, and confirmed that the patterns and styles were exactly the same, her eyes turned red again, "Brother Xiang, where did you find this? Have you met my family? Are they all okay?" ?”
Xiaoyue held the bracelet to her chest, the questions were like a cannonball, and she was also very excited.
"Since I found out about your background last time, in order to help you find your family, I have been rushing back to Kuaiji non-stop. I asked a lot of connections to find out some clues." Looking at Xiaoyue's look of expectation and joy, Xiang Yu's expression gradually faded away. Get down, "I found an old family member in the old place of Chu State. From him, I learned that this set of silver bracelets was specially customized by a big family in Chu State. , let me give you this bracelet, and ask me to tell you that it is your mother's relic."
"Xiaoyue! Xiaoyue!" As soon as Xiang Yu finished speaking, he saw Xiaoyue limp on her side. She was indeed exhausted and passed out. Xiang Yu hurriedly supported Xiaoyue, and Gao Yao also stood up from the stone pier. Worriedly calling her name.
Zhou Ji pointed to Xiaoyue's eyebrows, a warm current poured into Xiaoyue's body, Xiaoyue's tightly wrinkled brows gradually eased, tears still hung in the corners of her eyes, and she turned from a coma to a deep sleep.
"Too many things happened today, let her have a good sleep." Zhou Ji sighed softly, motioned for Lu Zhi and Susu to help Xiaoyue go back to the room to rest, and at the same time looked at the guilty Xiang Yu, sighed: "Brother Xiang Don't blame yourself too much, you have worked so hard to find your mother's belongings for Xiaoyue, and when she wakes up, she will definitely be grateful to you."
Gao Yao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and asked with his reddened eyes, "Brother Xiang, have you ever found out about Xiaoyue's birthday?"
Xiang Yu nodded, and said seriously: "The old man used to be an old man in the house. He said that Xiaoyue's birthday is on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, which is tomorrow."
Zhou Ji nodded slightly, looked at Xiang Yu's dusty appearance, and said with a smile: "No wonder you rushed back from Kuaiji so soon, and you want to come this way day and night, just to catch up with Xiaoyue's birthday?"
Xiang Yu didn't shy away from it, and directly admitted: "Yes, after inquiring about her family situation, I rushed back without stopping, and wanted to tell her this before her birthday, so as not to miss her birthday celebration this year."
Hearing this, Gao Yao turned his head to look at Xiang Yu, looked him up and down several times, nodded slightly and said, "Brother Xiang has a heart."
"For Xiaoyue, I am willing." Xiang Yu patted his chest and said boldly.
Before in modern times, when I was careless, my baby Gao Lan was taken away by Yi Xiaochuan. Although this person is not a bad person, he often bullies Gao Lan, and he is not clear with other women.
Now that there is a younger sister named Xiaoyue, Gao Yao is naturally more cautious. He put Xiang Yu on the watch list from the bottom of his heart, and said with a smile: "Since tomorrow is Xiaoyue's birthday, I plan to hold a birthday party for her. Brother Xiang appreciates the face and participates."
Xiang Yu was overjoyed when he heard the words, and quickly agreed.
The three gathered together to discuss how to give Xiaoyue a surprise. In the deep palace compound within the high wall, Yi Xiaochuan was lying in the hall of office in a daze, looking up at the nameplate on the bamboo tube fluttering in the wind. At a loss.
Since he was stabbed, he has been thinking of leaving here all the time, but when he was chased by Xiang Yu, his first reaction was to flee back to the palace.
It seems that he has nowhere to go except here.
When he came over, he passed the Hall of Jade Beauty, and faced the gate of the courtyard which was close at hand, he dared not take a step.
He didn't know how to face Yu Shu.
Is it a guard? Or a healer? Or Mr. Chuan.
It has been a night since he escaped from Yushu's bedroom, Yi Xiaochuan didn't know what happened last night, and he didn't dare to think about it.
He only knows that he drank all night at the wine shop that Cui Wenzi often goes to last night. He just hopes to get drunk, forget everything that happened just now, and escape everything that will happen.
In the end, he succeeded. He was completely drunk, but he remembered clearly.
Looking at it now, the name tag hanging on the top is so ridiculous.
Obviously wanting to protect Xiaoyue, that's why she climbed to the top, but in the end she hurt the person she once wanted to protect because of an insignificant title.
Xiaoyue's frightened and dodging eyes kept repeating in his mind, Lihua's crying with rain, and the sound of "Little Eunuch" seemed to ring in his ears, and Yi Xiaochuan's heart became irritable again.
In the past, Yi Xiaochuan would never have felt this way, but when he fell in love with another woman with a mutilated body, this title, which was originally used to express intimacy, became particularly harsh.
Yi Xiaochuan climbed up to the high platform, and took his name tag from under the beam. The withered yellow bamboo piece lay quietly in his palm. It was very light and thin, and the handwriting on it was rough.
In the Hall of Officials, this small nameplate represents a person's identity.
No matter how high the hanging is, he is still a eunuch.
(Alas, I didn’t have time to watch the mixed doubles match, but I heard that I was chased three times and four times. In the seventh game, I played 0:8. I seemed to be back at Ti8 in a daze. I felt so depressed and uncomfortable. Alas, I hope it won't affect the player's mentality, and concentrate on the next game.)
