"What about your father? Where is he? Does he care if you are hurt? If I were hurt like this, my grandparents would risk their lives. Even if they often say that their lives are cheap, it is nothing more than smashing their heads. Give me another life. I was picked up by them from someone else and that's it. Where are your father and mother?" Hua'er asked Huo Yanshan, moving slightly closer to him in order to see his expression clearly.
Huo Yanshan stopped dressing for a moment and turned to look at Hua'er. This little girl is so smart. She doesn't believe his words and tests him in this way.
"Dead. My parents are dead and I am an orphan." Huo Yanshan said: "That day I walked outside the city and two people came from nowhere and suddenly attacked me. I have learned some martial arts from my master since I was a child, but I still couldn't beat them, so I pretended to be dead. I thought I was really going to die, but I met you."
This argument was reasonable. Hua'er stopped questioning and pushed the medicine jar to him: "I heard that you are not out of breath anymore. You can go on your way after drinking these medicines."
"Will you come with me?" Huo Yanshan asked her: "My home is a pure place, with fields planted in front of the mountains and trees planted behind the mountains. There is also a spring of youth in the mountains. There is water to drink every day of the year. If you come with me , I will build you a separate wooden house, you can do whatever you like, and wait until this troubled time is over before going down the mountain."
Hua'er laughed when he heard what he said: "Then let me ask you, what will happen to my grandma? If grandpa comes back, where will he find us? Will you take the people who rescued you together to the mountain with you? Your mountain Is it possible to accommodate so many people?”
Huo Yanshan thought for a while and shook his head: "That's not possible."
"Then I can't leave."
Hua'er Quan thought it was a joke and didn't take it seriously. When Huo Yanshan drank the medicine, she said goodbye to him seriously: "This is not a place to stay for a long time. It is said that people from Huo Lingshan are shouting and killing outside the city. If you want to leave the city, you'd better find a good time."
"Thank you for your kindness, but I don't have anything at the moment. If you meet me someday, or if you want anything from me, just go to the grocery store on the dock and tell the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper is a distant relative of mine. Send me a message. Money and goods are of your choice."
"No need. Take care of yourself." Hua'er stood up and clasped her fists like others: "There is a long way to go, so everyone takes care of themselves." After speaking, he ran away.
She really didn't have any bad intentions towards others, and Huo Yanshan didn't have any bad looks either. After Hua'er rescued him, she also had a nightmare, dreaming that she had rescued a man-eating evil spirit. But then I thought about it, in this world, it is common for people to change into ghosts and humans. So I stopped torturing myself.
The next day the White Mansion had to choose servants, Fei Nu and Ah Hui went out early. Sure enough, the old housekeeper of the Bai Mansion was holding the wild cat. Fei Nu secretly said to Ah Hui: "I will feed that wild cat every day. It will not do anything to us. After entering the Bai Mansion, they discussed going to Mr. Bai. Be a personal slave.”
Ah Hui was suspicious and looked at Fei Nu: "Don't you hate Mr. Bai the most? Do you want to assassinate him?"
Fei Nu slapped him: "Don't talk nonsense! Who can't get along with Yinzi!"
"Sister Hua'er also wants to enter the Bai Mansion." Ah Hu said: "It's a pity that we don't want girls this time. It is said that in order to make the Ye family girl happy, Mr. Bai wants to send away all the girls in the manor, leaving only a few, which is really unsightly. of."
"You are the only ones who believe that he is an infatuated person. I don't believe it at all. Which of the things that Mr. Bai did to beat Yan Zhuo back is a good thing? He is only more hateful than Mr. Bai." Fei Nu looked at him with burning eyes. He glanced at the tight gate of Bai Mansion. He was handsome by nature, but he looked pitiful because he had nothing to eat and no clothing to cover his body. People who are born with a good brain can never put it to use and can only wander around in the open and dark circles to find a living.
When they arrived, the cat first came to Ah Hui and sniffed it, then rubbed Ah Hui's arm. The old housekeeper shouted: "Add one more person!" Ah Hui was very happy, and turned back to Feinu and said: "I'll wait for you over there. !”
The cat Feinu had been fed for some time, and he was sometimes cold and warm to Feinu, but Feinu thought he was more familiar with Feinu than others. The man stood there and looked at the old housekeeper and smiled. The old housekeeper lowered his eyes and sent the cat forward. The cat was originally quiet, but when it came to Fei Nu, it suddenly let out a "meow" and scratched it out with a paw. Fei Nu hurriedly moved away and looked at it in disbelief. The old housekeeper said: "Yes."
It's ridiculous to let a cat judge a person. In addition, Fei Nu had been feeding for so long, but all his efforts were in vain. His face turned from red to white, he just glanced at the cat, turned around and left. Ah Hu followed him and said, "I won't do it either."
Fei Nu pushed him: "You finally got a good job. You don't have to go to the dock to move goods during the day. What are you doing! The Bai Mansion gave you a lot of money, so little Song can also have a full meal. Don't be impulsive!"
Ah Hui was in a dilemma, but Fei Nu finally pushed him again, and then he stumbled into the Bai Mansion.
Fei Nu looked back at the cat again. His expression didn't show any sadness or hatred, but it was just strange.
Hua'er stood at the entrance of the alley and waited for a long time, watching him come back from a distance, and ran up to him and asked him: "Did that cat give you trouble today? And did the old man, the housekeeper of Baifu, make things difficult for you? I got a job in Baifu. What errand?"
Uncharacteristically, Fei Nu said calmly: "That cat was fed for nothing. When it saw me, it jumped on me and scratched me! Look!" He pulled open his collar to show Hua'er, and there was a streak of blood on his neck. Hua'er hurriedly asked him: "Does it hurt? Grandma has some medicine. I'll apply it on you."
"good."
"Where's Ah Hu?"
"The cat likes Ah Hui, and Ah Hui entered the Bai Mansion."
Hua'er stopped asking because she was afraid that he would feel uncomfortable. When applying the medicine, she deliberately said something else: "Brother Feinu, Brother Zhaoye said that on New Year's Eve, we will give you double doses. Shall we go?"
"Go." Fei Nu hissed, and Hua'er quickly stopped her hand and used her palm to fan him: "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
The two were quiet for a while, and Hua'er thought for a long time before speaking cautiously: "What errands does Brother Fei Nu want to do in the Bai Mansion? The hawk from the Bai Mansion is the one who came out to deliver the message before. I am familiar with him. I I thought I could ask him."
"I'm not going." Fei Nu said to Hua'er, "You don't have to make a living for me. I'm a manly man and there are many ways out. Even the cats in the White House are so difficult to take care of. I won't go there again."
"and you…"
"You don't have to worry about me." Fei Nu looked at Hua'er and hesitated to speak. Grandma coughed. Hua'er hurriedly handed her the spittoon. When she looked back, Fei Nu had already left.
"Grandma, can I go on New Year's Eve?" Hua'er discussed with grandma: "If I go, will your home be deserted? Ah Song and Xianchan can come to accompany you."
"My grandma doesn't want you to go," she said. "Little ghosts are rampant on New Year's Eve. You are weak and I'm afraid something will happen to you."
"Grandma, are ghosts scary to anyone? That person kills people without batting an eye. Ghosts are just scary."
Sun Po sighed and her eyes turned red: "Hua'er, Sun Po is dragging you down."
"Grandma! You're going to make Hua'er angry when you say that!" Hua'er was about to cry: "Grandma, when you took me back, I was the size of a kitten. I have suffered so much fatigue and hunger over the years to raise me to this age. Why are you dragging me down today? Without my grandma and grandpa, there would be no flowers!" Hua'er wiped her tears and said, "Get well soon. After the winter, you will feel better in the spring. When the spring warms and the flowers bloom, the flowers will bloom. I'll follow the example of those noble people and take you for a walk outside the city. Don't you like to eat fish? Just go to the place where we cut the fish to catch fish for you, and grill it directly. The fish will be so fresh and tender; don't you like to eat dumplings? What? I’ll give it to you tomorrow!”
The more Hua'er talked, the more uncomfortable she became, and tears fell down: "Grandma, if something really happens to you, then you can take me away too. I won't be alive either!"
"What are you talking about!" Grandma slapped her in the mouth: "Stop talking, silly girl! Grandma is fine! You are fine too! Sooner or later things will get better!"
"Yes!" Hua'er wiped away her tears and showed off to Sun Po: "Grandma, Hua'er is amazing. Do you know about Bai Lao Er? Hua'er can make a living under Bai Lao Er. He can do it openly and honestly!"
She comforted Grandma Sun and turned around to go out. It was already dark, and there was no need to watch the clock that day. She could have rested at home. But when I think about Fei Nu's appearance, I always worry that something will happen. A person walked through the thin night and saw many people in a hurry. She walked in the opposite direction and walked all the way to Bai Mansion. I wandered outside the house for a long time, thinking about how to tell Bai Qiling. But he saw Haoying hurriedly leaving the house, and was stunned when he saw her: "What a coincidence, the second master is looking for you."
"What do you want Mr. Bai to do with me?"
"Mr. Bai will tell you himself."
Haoying said nothing more and took her all the way inside. The man from Baiqiling leaned on the slump and did not adjust his sitting posture when she came in. He just stared at her, as if he wanted to see something from her face.
Hua'er was silent for a long time. Seeing that he had no intention of restraining, she sighed: "Second Master, you look like this every time you see me. It's really scary! Is there something written on my face? Have I stolen something from you?" Do I have any blood feud with you? If not, why do you look at me with such bitterness and hatred?"
Bai Qiling knew that she was very sharp-tongued, so he didn't argue with her. He just kept it secret and smiled deeply.
"You're laughing so hard that I'm scared!" she said again.
"What do you want from me?" Bai Qiling asked her.
"Then what do you want from me?" Hua'er asked.
"You speak first."
"yes."
Hua'er said what she had considered: "Second Master Bai, I have been fortunate enough to run errands for Second Master Bai several times. You should be satisfied with me. Otherwise, you won't let Haoying look for me again."
Bai Qiling snorted, thinking that this thing would really put gold on his face. Hua'er pretended not to hear, and said again: "But the second master doesn't know something. The slave is the worst in Willow Lane. You have seen Xianchan. She is one of the best girls in Yanzhuo City. Ah Hui is extremely powerful and human. Honest and upright, I have also entered your Bai Mansion today. There is another person that I think Mr. Bai also likes..."
She glanced at Bai Qiling and saw that he was unmoved, then continued: "Brother Feinu can know everything inside and outside Yanzhuo City. You have just come back. If there is such a person to help you..."
"No need." Bai Qiling said.
Hua'er didn't know what else to say for a moment. As she was thinking about it, she heard Bai Qiling say: "It's just a lot of people. I'll give you a favor."
Hua'er was a little panicked when she heard this. How much money was her favor worth? Then Bai Qiling must have had some bad ideas to say this. But she really wanted to make a living for Fei Nu, and thought to herself: That's all. When the soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, she will answer him first and let Fei Nu have a good life.
So he knelt down with a thud: "I thank you, Master!"
"That's all?" Bai Qiling finally sat up straight: "I'll give you something in exchange!"
"what?"
"You worthless life!"
Bai Qiling always tried to scare her, but she no longer took him seriously. He was not a good person, but she was protected by God and escaped death more than once, which obviously emboldened her. She blinked her eyes amusingly and asked him: "Tell me, is it a mountain of swords or a sea of fire this time? Mountain of swords, my servant goes up; sea of fire, my servant comes down." Hua'er patted her chest: "Just trust me!"
Bai Qiling saw her looking like this. She didn't have any shyness or gentleness of a woman. She looked like a child running on the street, with a naughty look on her face. This person has a strong destiny and a tough life, and he always has bad ideas in a blink of an eye. To expect this kind of person to be of the same mind as you is even harder than reaching the sky.
"You act like a book boy next to me and follow me out of the city to Liangqing on the second day of the new year."
"To go to Liangqing, you have to pass through Huoling Mountain. Huoling Mountain is a dangerous place."
"Aren't you going up to the mountain of swords and going to the sea of fire?"
"Let me go with you. He is the person who lived and died with the second master. Will you guarantee that I will be rich and prosperous throughout my life?"
"I only want to keep myself rich and prosperous throughout my life."
"I am the Second Master's own!" Hua'er patted her chest to express her loyalty, while Bai Qiling nodded: "Then tell me, what did you do with the medicine jar at night twice?"
"My slave goes to the dock during the day to help the second master find out the news. At night he wanders around the city as a watchman. When he enters the house and sleeps with his head covered, how can he still have the strength to carry the medicine jar out?"
Bai Qiling's eyebrows moved, and he suddenly pinched her cheek. He changed his fake kindness just now and gritted his teeth and said, "You are so tough!"
Hua'er was hurt by his pinch, and she didn't know where she got the courage to lift her leg and kick him. Bai Qiling quickly dodged her and pushed her to the window. Her thin back hit the window lattice, and her mouth was almost pinched by Bai Qiling, causing her to cry in pain.
Bai Qiling came close to her, with a fierce light, as if he had the intention to kill. Hua'er was frightened many times and couldn't cry anymore, but she still held his wrist and said sadly: "Second Master... let go, if you have something to say."
When Bai Qiling heard this, he let go of his hand and blocked her there, unable to move. Hua'er pushed him several times and he was as steady as a rock. She wanted to go around, but he pulled her back. She was like a little mouse in front of him, and he was a cat with sharp claws, and he could kill her with one slap.
Hua'er shrank her neck and said timidly: "Are you interested in me? Otherwise, why would you pay attention to my every move? I can't escape your notice even if I hold a medicine jar to deliver medicine to my sweetheart at night?"
"Sweetheart. Sweetheart." Bai Qiling muttered a few words, "What a sweetheart." That "sweetheart" who makes you cry even when you see the coffin!
