"Make you laugh! Make you laugh!" Hua'er pounced on him and hit him again. This time Bai Qiling wouldn't let her go. He suppressed her with one hand and pulled the moiré belt from her waist with the other hand to tie her up quickly. . Hua'er felt even more aggrieved and kicked him with her legs, but his legs were held down by him again. Bai Qiling threatened her: "If you make trouble again, I will throw you down to feed the wolves!"
When Hua'er heard this, she wanted to feed her to the wolves and howled loudly. While crying, she accused Bai Qiling: He said that he had done a lot of harm to others, and even if her life was spared, she should not be ruined by him. He will be punished by God sooner or later. And so on.
Bai Qiling's head was buzzing from her crying, and he was looking for something to gag her. Seeing this, Hua'er hurriedly shut her mouth, and huddled up, twitching.
Seeing that she had finished venting, Bai Qiling asked her to explain everything she saw today in detail. During this period, he asked her: That person is going to chase you, are you sure there is no one around?
Hua'er shook her head firmly: "No." But when she thought about it carefully, she felt that she might have seen a black shadow flash past at some moment. But she didn't see it clearly, so she didn't think much about it.
"What's in that hut? Where's the haunting? That's murder!"
The carriage was swaying along, and Hua'er was serious about riding in the carriage for the first time. She didn't bother to look at it just now, and now she had time to look at it carefully. Others were walking with worn-out soles, mud and cold feet, but Mr. Bai was lucky. There were all kinds of food and drink in the carriage, and there was a brazier. He really didn't suffer at all. Thinking of this, she opened her mouth to scold him again and again, and finally gave up after thirty cents rose to fifty cents.
When he separated from Bai Qiling, he told her: "Whether it's during the night or when you're working during the day, keep your eyes open."
"You are just..."
Bai Qiling didn't wait for her to finish cursing, closed the window and ordered the driver to leave. After this day of tossing, he had some idea of what was going on. At least I know that there are at least four groups of people involved.
"That thing will definitely not be transported away without knowing it." Haoying said to Bai Qiling: "The Hua'er and others saved that person. It stands to reason that she was chased and chopped down today. If he is really nearby, he should not be there. Don't save me until you die."
Bai Qiling played with the fan in his hand and only said: "Keep an eye on that mouse. Any enemy must be repaid and any favor must be repaid. This is their rule. That person will come to them sooner or later."
When the flower came home, he gave fifty cents to his grandma and asked her to give it to the debt collectors tomorrow, but he didn't mention the incident of almost losing his life. She was exhausted and frightened, and her soul seemed to be sucked out of her during the night shift. Fei Nu asked her where she went during the day. She said: Go out of the city to run an errand for Mr. Bai.
Fei Nu didn't ask any more questions and just told Hua'er: "That Mr. Bai is a complete evil person. I heard at the dock today that Mr. Bai came back to find something. He said that the thing was originally shipped from Chaozhou to the capital. It was robbed near Yanzhuo. Some people say that the thing was robbed by Uncle Bai, so Mr. Bai killed Uncle Bai."
"The Bai family's affairs are very complicated. Those rumors may not be true. We must keep our mouths shut and don't make ourselves angry," Zhaoye said. When Hua'er wasn't paying attention, she pulled Fei Nu aside and asked him softly: "Do you often go to the black market lately?"
"I've never been there," Feinu said.
"Don't lie to me. We grew up together. If something happens to you, I'll feel bad. Mr. Sun is not a good person. No matter what he promises you, don't believe it."
This is a coincidence. Zhaoye was working as an errand at the Yamen during the day, and when he was going to run an errand near Sun's Mansion, he saw Fei Nu coming out of Sun's Mansion. The steward of the Sun Mansion grabbed his sleeve and made gestures with him. People in Yanzhuo have rules for doing business. They negotiate prices openly for open business, and set prices behind their sleeves for shady business. Zhaoye originally didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but Fei Nu went to feed the Bai family's wild cat, which made him intuitively feel that there must be a scam.
Fei Nu said with rare seriousness: "Brother Zhaoye, we are all weeds in troubled times, we are just trying our best to save our lives. In my opinion, the reason why people are good or bad depends on whether it is good for themselves. It is good for me. , He is a great good person. If he is not helpful to me, he is a great bad person."
Seeing that Zhaoye couldn't persuade him, he resorted to his last resort: "I want Hua'er to tell you."
"Hua'er herself has worked hard for Mr. Bai, she can't talk about me."
The two broke up unhappy and Menmen caught up with the team. It snowed again that day. Ah Hui was the first to notice it. He wiped the moisture from his face and raised his head: "It's snowing."
"The winter in Yanzhuo City is too long." Zhaoye said, "It's too difficult."
Hua'er said absently: "Yes..."
After finally being dismissed from the general's post, when she was about to get home, Ahui and Feinu left for some reason, and she walked back alone and dejectedly. A stone rolled to her feet and she kicked it away. Another one came, and she kicked it away again and shouted: "Stop it!"
After the third watch, thieves are rampant, and because of the curfew, people in Willow Lane will not go out at night. Hua'er reacted and looked up, finally seeing a person standing in the black shadow in front of her.
She was startled, covering her heart and jumped back. Just when she was about to shout for help, she heard the man say: "Hua'er! Don't shout!"
Hua'er covered her mouth and carefully tried to identify who the visitor was. She didn't recognize either the voice or the figure. The man's posture when he stood there really didn't look like a bad guy, so she tentatively took a step forward to see the person clearly.
The man's face was completely wrapped in black cloth, and his exposed eyes were dark. He leaned weakly against the wall and waved to Hua'er. There was a heavy whirling sound in his lungs when he spoke: "Hua'er, come here, don't be afraid."
Hua'er hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over slowly again, showed him the short knife in her hand, and threatened him: "Did you see it? I'll kill you if you play tricks on me!"
The man's expression was unclear, but there was a faint smile in his eyes. Then he coughed and made gestures on his face with his hands, from the corners of his eyes to behind his ears: "It's me."
Hua'er thought for a moment, then opened her eyes wide: "You're not dead?"
The man shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I am lucky."
"Then why don't you run away far away? What are you doing here? Are you worried about your long life?" She took a few steps forward, still holding the knife in her hand, and poked her head to look at his face. The man simply took off his face towel, his face was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and even his ears were red and swollen.
"You have a great destiny. Since you have a great destiny, live a good life in the future! Not many people come back from the dead in this world, so you must have a good destiny. Didn't Si Tiantai say that this year will bring good luck? I think You are the lucky one." Hua'er kept chattering, and while talking, she moved closer to him, gesturing with the knife in her hand, and her eyes were fierce: "Don't move!"
The whirling sound in his chest was indeed very severe. It was the same as Sun Po's. He must have suffered from cold, lung disease, and lack of money to get medicine, so he could only endure it like this.
"You go and wait in the abandoned house over there." Hua'er said, "Your life is really good. I just made some unexpected money these days. I stocked up a lot of medicine for grandma. I will give you two pairs first. You can take them. Go and save your life." After saying that, she turned around and ran away, whispering to him: "Wait!"
I went back and forth with Bai Qiling two or three times, pulling teeth from the tiger's mouth and licking blood from the tip of the knife. I bought the medicine with a little silver and generously gave it to a stranger. She just felt that this man was pitiful, and he didn't look like a bad guy, but she just didn't know why he ended up in this situation. But naturally she wouldn't ask so many questions. Everyone has their destiny. Maybe it was his destiny that he was saved by her!
She trotted into the house and rummaged for herbs. Remembering that the man couldn't cook the medicine, she simply found a medicine jar for her grandma's leftover medicine and poured it into it. Then she picked up the doctor's prescription and ran away. Seeing her panic, grandma coughed and asked her, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Help!"
Carefully holding the jar of medicine, she ran towards the shabby house. The remaining snow in the alley made a puckering sound as she stepped on it. The moonlight lengthened the shadow of her running in a hurry. The corners of her shabby clothes got wet, and drifted upward little by little. When she arrived, the man was still there. She put down the medicine jar and said, "This is three days' worth of medicine. You drink it first. If you want to leave, take this prescription with you. The doctor prescribed it for my grandma. I will I think I can cure your symptoms. If you don't leave and can't buy medicine to prepare the medicine, I'll see you here in three days and I'll give you medicine."
"Thank you, Hua'er."
"How on earth did you know that I call Hua'er?"
"If I want to know, I will definitely know." After he finished speaking, he coughed twice while covering his chest, and it took him a while to catch his breath: "Don't you ask me what my name is? Where I come from? Where I'm going? Are I a good guy or a bad guy? ?”
"I won't ask. If you are a good person, it will be considered a virtue for me to save you; if you are a bad person, and I know it now, should I save you or not? Asking so many questions is nothing more than bothering oneself." Hua'er pouted: " All you need to know is that you escaped death and saved your life because God decided that your life should not be taken away. If you were a heinous bad person in the past, you must change your ways; if you were a good person in the past, then continue to be a good person."
“Can a good person have enough to eat?”
"Being a good person will help you sleep peacefully."
After Hua'er finished speaking, she stood up and said goodbye: "It's time for me to go! Have a good night's sleep, we still have a full day of work tomorrow. You have to take care of yourself."
"You don't ask me my name..." The man raised his eyes and looked at her: "And you don't want any benefits?"
"I don't want the benefits. I don't think you have anything valuable in your body. Who is your name?"
"Huo Yanshan."
"It's great that you still have an upright name. Look at the names of people in our Willow Lane. They are all cats, dogs and flowers. Some parents came up with a name after thinking it over. It's up to you, Mr. Official, and it ended up on the document. That's another matter." Hua'er sighed: "I do have a surname, but the name is too shabby, and over time I don't want to mention it anymore. Just call it whatever you want!"
Hua'er didn't know why, but she chatted a lot with Huo Yanshan. Although it was all insignificant chatter, there was an indescribable lightness after finishing it. It was only after she got home that she thought clearly. Perhaps it was because Huo Yanshan would have to live in the world with a terrible face from now on, so she already felt pity for him.
