Love Bandit
Ancient Style Sweet Cake 2, Thump
Thump Thump Thumb Thum
Lu Chengzhao had probably never seen such a shameless person as me in his life. He was at a loss for words and only pinched my face harder.
I gave him the glad eye.
Seeing my leering eyes, Lu Chengzhao’s eyes narrowed, probably because he was frightened. When I was
eight years old, my parents sold me to Chen Fu as a servant girl.
In exchange for three taels of silver, they were properly wrapped layer by layer and received in the bundle.
My mother couldn’t bear it, so she wiped my tears with her dry hands. “Yunxiang, you must live.”
I did not answer and looked at the sugar man in my brother’s hand.
At that time, I swore that I would not only live, but also live better than them. After
arriving at Chen Fu, I asked Miss Chen Wanru for warmth, care and care.
Finally, I succeeded in being promoted to her personal servant girl.
She was nice to me, too.
Teach me to read and write, and always give me delicious food. She
even told me that she liked Wang Sheng, the eldest son’s companion, and was going to elope with him.
As a confidant, I naturally participated in their elopement plan. I didn
‘t want to go with them. I had no worries about food and clothing if I stayed in Chen Fu. Whoever left was a fool.
But when I think of the whip offered by the ancestral temple of Chen Fu, I feel weak.
I’m afraid the master will take his anger out on me when he finds out that the young lady is missing.
We were so unlucky that we met the mountain bandits before we reached the destination of our elopement. In
a hurry, I exchanged clothes with the second young lady, and with a clever mouth, I succeeded in making the bandits think that I was the master, and let the second young lady and Wang Sheng go back to the Chen family to get the ransom.
The second young lady was reluctant to leave with tears in her eyes.
I know why she’s crying. It was impossible for
her to go back to Chen Fu-even if she did, Master Chen would not redeem a servant girl with white silver.
If the bandits can’t get the ransom for a long time, will they feed the idle people?
Apparently not.
So what are they gonna do?
My barren imagination can’t think of the worst possible outcome.
But this is enough to repay the kindness of the second young lady to me.
I said, “Go. Don’t look back.”
In fact, I would like to tell her a few more words, such as remember to add more clothes in cold weather, do not eat dessert late at night, otherwise the stomach will hurt.
However, before I could say these words, I was dragged up the hill by two big men, one on the left and one on the right.
From this moment on, I became Miss Chen Wanru.
By the time I got to the door of the assembly hall in the bandit’s den, I was almost paralyzed on the ground. In the middle of the
hall sat a man in a black suit. The
long black hair was tied up high with the crown of fat jade, and the white and thin face was more bookish than Wang Sheng’s.
He doesn’t look like a bandit, but a scholar.
Soon, I knew I was wrong. After hearing the report from his men,
the bandit leader, who looked gentle and polite, lifted his eyelids to look at me and asked coldly, “The Chen family?”
“Is that the Chen family that runs gambling houses and brothels in Fenyang City?”
I nodded, feeling certain I was going to die.
Sure enough, the corners of his mouth crossed and he grinned contemptuously. “Your father has done a lot of wicked things.” If you
open a gambling house, your family will be ruined; if you open a brothel, your wife and children will be separated. All the black-hearted money you Chens have earned has been used to raise such a charming young lady as you.
He bent his fingers, and the two men immediately understood and carried me closer to him.
His long, good-looking fingers clamped down hard on my jaw.
He sat down calmly in his tiger-skin chair and looked at me with a look of pity and disdain. “You’ve been blessed for more than ten years, and it’s time for you to pay off your debts for the Chen family.”
Look, this is fate.
I closed my eyes in despair and thought about my life.
I seem to be both lucky and unlucky. Fortunately
, I can walk in this world, smell the fragrance of flowers and blow the breeze. With such a good master as Miss Er, I have never suffered any grievance.
Unfortunately, my parents sold me when they were poor, as if I were the loser in the family. The second young lady wanted to elope with her lover, and I had nothing to do with it. In the blink of an eye, I became someone else’s fish and meat.
This seems to be my life.
But it doesn’t seem to have much to do with me. No one in
this world loves me, and no one loves me.
Maybe when I die, no one will know my real name, Yunxiang.
“What do you want?” I put my hands on the ground to maintain my last dignity. “If you want to kill me, give me a good time.”
He lifted my chin a little higher and smiled lightly. “You think too simply.”
He said, “Of course, the daughters of the Chen family should be raped first and then killed.”
3
No! I can’t accept
this way of death! My
life has been worthless for eighteen years, and I haven’t enjoyed my life yet, and I’m going to be enjoyed by others?
I looked sideways at the group of five big and three thick strong men next to me, and my back was cold. The bandit
leader’s fingers slowly tightened and forcibly turned back to my line of sight.
He asked me, “So impatient?”
Is this something you can’t wait for?
It’s none of my business! Why do I have to pay back the sins of
Chen Jiazuo?
But I really can’t say it.
If I tell the truth, they will go after the second young lady.
She finally escaped from Chen Fu, can I let her step into another fire pit? Although the
master is not doing a clean business, it is not too much to cut him, but the second young lady is innocent.
She treated me like a sister and read me a poem yesterday.
Read is.. Shoot the horse before you shoot the
man.
Catch the thief first catch the king!
Like a blow to the head, I was suddenly enlightened. There is a king of thieves
in front of me, what am I waiting for! I can’t beat him by
force, so outsmart him and take down the king of thieves! Be his lady of the village! Whether
we can live or not depends on this fight.
I nodded. “Yes, I am in a hurry.”
“What’s your name?” I pretended to be calm, and my heart beat like a drum. “You can rape first and then kill. You have to do it yourself.”. I have a crush on you.
The answer shocked everyone. The man on the
other side exasperated: “Our big boss is Lu Cheng-chao, who won two yuan in a row.”
“He is unique in the world. He is noble and pure. He can take a fancy to you!”
“Unless he’s blind!”
I looked at him with bright eyes. “Lu Cheng-chao, do you like me?”
Lu Chengzhao had probably never seen such a shameless person as me in his life. He was at a loss for words and only pinched my face harder.
I gave him the glad eye.
Seeing my leering eyes, Lu Chengzhao’s eyes narrowed, probably because he was frightened.
I quickly smiled at him ingratiatingly, regardless of whether he had pinched my teeth and grinned, and whether my smile was uglier.
Lu Chengzhao let go of his hand and pushed me away, as if he was a little disgusted.
His eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he carefully observed my expression.
I had the cheek to look at him affectionately.
I saw a small red mole at the corner of his eye, which was very attractive.
This mountain bandit leader looks really good.
Would you like to say a few more words? But what if it pisses him off? As I was struggling, I suddenly heard Lu Cheng-chao snort contemptuously, “You’re the daughter of the Chen family, and the fox spirit is not as thick-skinned as you!” As soon as I loosened my
collar, he gave me a sharp push and told his men, “Lock her up in the woodshed.”
To the woodshed? That is to say, I don’t have to be ruined by the bandits!
Heaven has eyes.
My love is thirty-six stratagems, and the first move has won the victory.
I thought Lu Chengzhao would somehow look at me differently, but I didn’t expect that he would be locked up in the woodshed for three days, and Lu Chengzhao didn’t even let anyone bring in a grain of rice!
Mountain bandits are mountain bandits, no matter how good-looking they are, they should kill thousands of knives! I was so
hungry that I couldn’t stand it any more. I grabbed the crack of the door and called for someone to give me something to eat.
Nobody talks to me.
I leaned against the door and cursed Lu Chengzhao. I don’t know the names of the others, so I can only scold him. I
‘m starving to death, and I don’t have to be afraid of offending him. When I was so
hungry that I was dizzy and my hands and feet were weak, Lu Chengzhao asked someone to bring me to him. He looked the same
as he had three days before, sitting superciliously in the tiger-skin chair that symbolized majesty.
Hands casually plucked the guqin in front of them, and the beautiful tone came from the strings, not knowing what tune they were playing.
Seeing my discomfiture, he gave a lazy smile and looked like he needed to be beaten.
“Look..” He said, “Whether it’s a ferocious beast or a toothless fox spirit, if you starve for a few days, you will be obedient.”
“I should have killed you the day you spoke so wildly.”
“But on second thought, that would be too cheap for you.”
Lu Chengzhao lowered his eyebrows to look at me, and his peach blossom eyes were full of pride.
He asked someone to bring the guqin to me. “Didn’t your Chen family run a brothel?”? Have you been influenced by what you’ve seen and heard? Play some music for me and I’ll give you a meal.
He’s humiliating me like a whore in a brothel.
But.
I don’t care.
My surname is not Chen, and I just want to eat. I suddenly felt a trace of strength in my
limbs and bones. “Really?”
Lu Cheng-chao nodded. “Really?”
The second young lady also learned the piano before. Every time she practiced and learned the piano, I would sit nearby and embroider. I never looked at it carefully.
Now an antique stringed lute is placed in front of me, and I can’t even tell which is the palace and which is the Shang.
I peeked at the steamed bread on the table and boldly stretched out my hand to the guqin.
Imitating the appearance of the second young lady when playing the piano, the left side of the hook, the right side of the pick, has not moved the third time, Lu Chengzhao opened his mouth to speak.
He said, “I didn’t know that you people in the Chen family could play cotton.”
I retaliated by saying, “I don’t know, a mountain bandit can listen to music.”
Then I regretted it. The steamed bread was on the table. Why should I make him angry?
It seems that I am really hungry.
I peeked at his face carefully, only to find that there was a slight smile on his lips.
He touched the plate on the counter with his finger.
There were five steamed bread, and I gobbled up two. There was no water for
three days, his mouth was dry, and it was extremely difficult to swallow, and the steamed bread was blocked in his throat.
I looked at the teacup at Lu Chengzhao’s hand.
He looked at me with a half-smile.
“Want some water?” “I’ll trade your secret for mine. It’s not that I can’t give you this cup of tea.”
Secret? What secret?
If I were the second young lady, I would certainly be wary and at least ask questions. But I’m not. I just want to drink water now.
I nodded without hesitation and gulped down the tea he handed me.
Ah, eat and drink enough, so comfortable.
Lu Cheng-chao asked me, “Why did you sneak out when Chen Fu didn’t wait?” Remembering the stories the young lady had told me, such as meeting in the backyard, eloping for love, resisting my parents’ marriage, and so on,
I began to talk nonsense.
“Actually, I was on my way to see my lover, but you robbed me on the way.”
Lu Cheng-chao scraped me three times from top to bottom with his eyes. “Are you going to have a private meeting with a man?” He said coolly.
I nodded. “So, for the sake of my sincerity, can you let me go?”
Lu Cheng-chao smiled. “Where does your lover live?”? What do you do?
“You know Taian City. He lives there. He’s a talented and beautiful scholar.”
“Oh?” Lu Cheng-chao pursed his lips and said, Beauty and the Geek are a good match. I don’t know your last name?
“Surname Chia.” My face did not change. “My lover’s military strategy, he will be the new champion in the future.”
I will be the wife of the Number One Scholar. I advise you not to lock me up in the woodshed again and deny me food.
Lu Cheng-chao burst out laughing. He pushed the steamed bread in front of me and said, “Eat it.” Is he
afraid?
It seems that I don’t have to be hungry anymore. I happily carried the dish and sat at his feet eating steamed bread. When the
steamed bread was finished, Lu Cheng-chao said, “I forgot to mention that this is your ration for the next five days.”
I was dumbfounded and my eyes breathed fire.
I want to greet his ancestors for eighteen generations. Son
of a bitch! He didn’t say he’d have to eat this snack over five days! He kept saying from beginning to end, “Let me have a meal!”! How can there be such a bad person in the
world!
Lu Cheng-chao laughed so happily that he shamelessly asked me, “Yo, are you holding your breath and scolding me?”
I lowered my head and did not speak. Not only do
I want to scold him now, but I want to beat him with the soles of my shoes!
Lu Cheng-chao leaned back in his chair. “It’s not impossible to eat if you want to. Let’s do some work in the stockade.”
He laughed like a spring breeze, and I suspected that he was holding his breath again.
The next day, a girl named Xiao Tao came to the woodshed to look for me. She untied me and said with a smile, “Sister, Brother Lu asked me to take you to work.”
“What kind of work?”
Xiao Tao is 14 or 15 years old, with a small red round face, which looks very pleasant. There’s a lot of work in
the stockade! My brothers’ clothes need mending, the kitchen is in a mess, and the hall hasn’t been cleaned for a long time.
“And Aunt Li and Uncle Sun, they both need someone to take care of them, and..”
I stopped her hurriedly. “Did Lu Cheng-chao say anything else?”
“Yes,” Peach gasped. “The better you work, the more you can eat.”
This son of a bitch knows how to boss people around.
People have to bow their heads under the eaves.
I raised my broom and began to sweep the yard. The broom raised dust, and the people in the yard covered their noses and walked away.
Only one man was still standing there, staring at me with a pair of bull’s eyes. He
happened to have a pile of chicken manure under his feet, and I couldn’t sweep it.
I said kindly, “Brother, can you make way? I want to sweep the floor.”
But he not only refused, but also spat at my feet.
My God, what kind of people are these.
“That’s OK.” I took a step back and didn’t want to argue with him. “Then I’ll go.”
I just turned around, and he swung in front of me again. “I didn’t expect Miss Chen to be here today.”
It looks like an old acquaintance, but I don’t know him at all.
“Your father lost his conscience and forced my sister into prostitution in a brothel.” He grabbed my arm viciously. “He runs a gambling house and cheats me for money!”! I don’t have any ***ing thing now!
He reached out and grabbed me. “I’m going to kill you to get rid of my hatred!”
I sighed in my heart. None of what
his lordship has done is on the table.
But I still have to defend myself: “When you buy a person from a brothel, you have to sign a contract of sale. If you don’t sign a contract of sale, who dares to rob a person?”. As soon as
I finished, he was furious. “If his gambling house hadn’t cheated me!”! Will I sign an indenture for my sister?
Could it be that Master Chen tied you up in a gambling house? You went there on your own! I struggled, “You wrote the deed of sale yourself, and you put your sister into a brothel!”
“Bitch!” He raised his hand high and waved it down at me. “I’ll ***ing kill you!”
I’ve been beaten a lot. When I
was young, my younger brother did something bad, and I was blamed for it. My parents beat me.
When I entered the Chen Mansion, I didn’t know the rules of asking for water, and the housekeeper beat me.
When I was older, the young master touched me. I didn’t agree, and the young master beat me;
The second young lady didn’t want to marry someone she didn’t like, so I stood in front of her, and the master beat me.
I’ve lived my whole life, and I’ve already been beaten. It’s impossible for
me to beg for mercy. The moment
he slapped down, I would put the broom in his hand to his face. The
expected hot pain did not appear, and I hesitated to open my eyes.
Lu Cheng-chao took the young man by the arm and said in a low voice, “Hung Wei, let go!”
Hong Wei stared at him. “Why are you stopping me?”! Everything I have has been swallowed up by the Chen family!
Lu Cheng-chao didn’t look at me, but his arm was in front of me. “In five days, the Chen family will send a ransom, and you won’t be short.”
“If something happens to her, will the Chen family pay the ransom?” Angrily,
Hung Wei shook off his hand and pointed at my nose. “I won’t let you go!”! You wait for me. It doesn’t matter whether you
wait or not.
To the mountain fastness, I am the gold that can move.
Their future rations and all their expectations are tied to me alone. If
I run, the gold will be gone.
That means it’s harder for me to escape than to climb the sky.
I can only put all my bets on Lu Chengzhao.
I fell shakily in the direction of Lu Chengzhao.
He unconsciously reached out to help me. “What’s wrong?”
I half closed my eyes and made the shape of Xizi holding his heart. “Heart disease..” I did.
“Really?” Lu Cheng-chao smiles, “My ancestors practiced medicine, and the silver needle was a unique skill.”. It will cure your heart disease. When I
saw Lu Chengzhao’s silver needles, which were longer than his fingers, I was really going to get sick.
I sat up quickly. “I feel like I’m ready..”
Lu Cheng-chao pushed me back to lie down. “Heart disease isn’t a big deal for me. Eighty injections will cure it.”
Eighty stitches?
I sat up again and said, “I really don’t have to..”
Lu Chengzhao looked at me with a half-smile, the long needle in his hand shining with cold light? Did you lie to me just now? He smiled grimly. “I hate it when people lie to me.”
My head shook like a rattle: “No, no!”! You prick it! I have a heart disease, and I need a few good needles.
Lu Chengzhao’s cool fingers grabbed my wrist and pushed my sleeve up with the other hand, exposing my slender arm. There are also several whip marks and bruises
on it, which were made by the master a few days ago. How could
I forget it.
“Who did it?” Lu Chengzhao’s tone was light, and he looked down at me.
It was like the first time he looked me in the eye.
I thought nervously, trying to find a reasonable explanation. Before
I could think of a reason, my arm was gently lifted by him. An inch
closer, I could feel his breath on my skin.
It’s a little cold and a little itchy.
Under this seemingly absent provocation, I shivered slightly, and I couldn’t make up a lie.
I stumbled and told the truth. “My father.”
“Why did he hit you?” Lu Chengzhao asked.
His tone was cold, but somehow I heard a hint of maintenance in it. The leader of the
mountain bandits, are you taking pity on the fragrant jade?
I’m a little surprised.
“He asked me to marry someone I didn’t like, and when I didn’t agree, he hit me.”
“So you ran out to find the right person.” Lu Cheng-chao connected all the things I had said to him before. “Go find that scholar named Chia.”
I feel very gratified that the fool who is the king of the mountain has finally come to his senses.
“So will you let me go?” I lowered my head and begged him, “My father will redeem me and beat me.”
I thought, I said so, he would be more pity, did not expect, I finished, Lu Chengzhao silence, his eyes gradually become cool thin up.
He said, “I’m sorry, it’s none of my business.”. In five days, the ransom will be sent up the mountain, and I will let you go.
Lu Chengzhao placed my arm and pricked the first needle at the right acupoint.
I feel so painful.
My heart hurts. It hurts everywhere.
I ran out with the lady. She went to live the life she wanted. I don’t blame her.
At the moment when I took her place on the mountain, I sincerely hoped that she would be happy.
But why can’t I? I’m
just like her. I’m a person.
Why is it that I am always the one who is abandoned in the end.
Seeing me shed tears, Lu Chengzhao’s tone softened a little. “I can have someone send a letter to your lover.” After a pause,
Lu Chengzhao added, “When you come out of the stockade and see your father, you’ll have nothing to do with us.”
“If Jia Xiucai had you in his heart, he would have had the courage to come and take you away, instead of seeing you marry someone else.”
All right, I dug myself two big holes.
One is deeper than other. People who
don’t know think I’m a hot potato. What about
reality?
No one went to Chen Fu to deliver the letter, and I didn’t have a lover-thanks to the fact that I took the trouble to give him a surname. Somehow
, I blurted out, “If it were you, would you dare to come?”
Lu Cheng-chao did not speak. It was a long time before he spoke. I don’t have anyone I like. I don’t know what it feels like to be moved. If there is a girl willing to come to me regardless of her own safety, then I will not let her down.
Hearing what Lu Chengzhao said, I rekindled my hope.
Lu Chengzhao is still in love. This kind of person is better to cheat.
I can make him like me, and then encourage him to let me go. I am the only girl with yellow flowers on
the mountain. As long as I seduce her with my heart, I don’t believe Lu Chengzhao will not be tempted.
“You still have congestion in your body, so after the needle has been applied, you can nourish it for a while before it dissipates.” Lu Chengzhao carefully applied the needle to me, completely unaware of my calculation of him in my heart. When I had a silver needle in my
arm, Xiao Tao brought me a bowl of corn porridge.
I said to Lu Chengzhao, “You feed me.”
Lu Cheng-chao’s benevolence as a healer has disappeared. “Don’t you have a long hand?”.
I raise my hand. I have needles on my arm and the back of my hand. How can I eat them?
Lu Cheng-chao frowned. “Little Tao, you feed her.”
I disagree. “Whoever makes me a hedgehog will feed me.”
Lu Cheng-chao stared at me and laughed as he looked at me. “I gave you a face, didn’t I?”
His smile is not only not scary, but also a little good-looking.
His eyes were curved, his teeth were white and straight, and he was a handsome young man.
My heart was pounding and my face was a little hot. “I don’t care. I won’t eat until you feed me.” I
‘ve never acted like a spoiled child with anyone, and I feel a little embarrassed myself.
Peach gawked at me, probably shocked by my cheekiness.
I winked at Xiaotao, who understood and turned around and ran away. She was afraid that Lu Chengzhao would lose his temper if he was too late, and she was also unlucky.
I thought Lu Chengzhao would satirize me, but he didn’t. He reluctantly picked up the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of gruel and stuffed it forward, almost missing my nostrils. I
didn’t open my mouth. I looked at him awkwardly. “When you bring it to your mouth, say’ah ‘.”
Lu Cheng-chao couldn’t believe it. “What?”
“I said, ‘You shall coax me, and you shall say,” Ah! “‘” I patiently explained to him, “This is the only way the gruel tastes good.”
Lu Cheng-chao is impatient. “The piglets in the pigsty don’t have as much trouble eating as you do.”
He pushed his bowl aside and asked, “Do you like it or not?”
I have to insist. It’s not easy
to seduce people, and I can’t just back out. If
you don’t feed me, I won’t eat. If I starve to death, you will not get the ransom. I threw myself on my back on the woodpile with my arms folded. “Are you feeding me or not?”
Lu Cheng-chao suddenly stood up and said, “I’m feeding a fart.”
Seeing that Lu Chengzhao was about to leave, I quickly stopped him, “Wait!”! Pull out the needle, too, and I will be annoyed when I see it.
Lu Cheng-chao ignored me, and when everyone had gone out of the door, a sentence floated in leisurely, “You can’t pull out the needle until tomorrow morning.”. Otherwise, the blood will flow backwards, and he will die immediately.
I, “!”
Do I have to lie so straight all night! Damn Lu Chengzhao! Fortunately, I thought he was a good man just now!
I lay on the woodpile and scolded Lu Chengzhao in my heart.
This is a dog thief who can’t eat oil and salt.
Today he let me eat a fart, and tomorrow I’m free, and I let him eat shit.
Thinking about it, I feel happy in my heart. When I was happy
, I felt sleepy and confused, feeling that someone was taking off my shoes.
I was excited and opened my eyes.
A shadow crouched at my feet, threw my shoes aside, and began to pull at my skirt.
I shouted loudly, and he jumped up and bent over me, covering his mouth. The silver needle on
my arm went deep into my flesh, and I sobbed a few times.
The shadow pressed her mouth to my ear and said, “Little woman, I said I would not let you go.”
“I’ll give you a ***ing taste of what my sister has suffered.”
It’s Hong Wei.
He obviously knew that I had a needle in my arm, and he deliberately pinched a handful of the end of the needle and threw it into my flesh.
I really hurt too much.
Tears welled up in an instant, even his throat choked, and he could only beg. I’m losing my
strength. I think I’m going to die. The sound of the
cloth breaking sounded.
I am torn between death and humiliation.
I choose to die. Didn’t
Lu Chengzhao say that if he pulled out the needle, he would die immediately.
I can die, but no one else will feel better.
With my remaining strength, I gathered a silver needle, held it in my hand, and plunged it into Hong Wei’s face.
He roared and kicked me in the stomach.
My stomach hurts and I’m suffocating, but I think I won.
I should have stuck him in the eye. Such rubbish doesn’t deserve to see the sun. Before
I fainted, a sudden flash of fire broke through the darkness.
A man took me in his arms.
His palm touched my cheek with a slightly cool feeling. And
he called me by my name.
Chen Wanru.
I recognized the voice of Lu Chengzhao.
I want to tell him my real name so I don’t misrepresent myself when I put up the tombstone. When I
woke up, I was no longer under the dry wood that was so hard that it pricked me.
It’s a bed with a thin mattress.
The room was neat and clean, with Guqin on the table in the middle.
It was the one that Lu Chengzhao fiddled with.
He sat by the window with a book and read it carefully.
He often gave me the illusion that he had come here by mistake.
This rustic cottage is just a glimpse of his life.
After all, mountain bandits can’t play the piano. If you
say it, you will laugh your head off.
I have a sore throat, but I still endure the pain and call him, “Lu..”
Hearing the noise, he looked hurriedly in my direction.
As soon as he touched my eyes, he was the first to avoid it.
Lu Cheng-chao went to the bedside. “Does it still hurt?” There was an emotion in his voice that I couldn’t understand. “Peach said you had bruises all over your body.”
The old wound was not healed, but a new one was added.
I’m so unlucky.
I sighed and asked him, “Did I sleep all night?”
Lu Chengzhao gave a hum. “There are still four days to go before your family comes to deliver the ransom.”. Take care of yourself.
Then I should thank him?
I wish I could slap him to death.
Lu Chengzhao just reminded me of the countdown to death, and I still have four days to live. The people in
this stockade are all devils. When I go out, I will blow up the mountain at the first time.
I stretched out my arm toward him, but Lu Cheng-chao didn’t know what was going on. “What’s the matter?” Didn’t
you say I would die if I pulled out the needle? How am I still alive?
Lu Cheng-chao suddenly became very embarrassed, and his eyes dodged. “Maybe it’s your fate.”
I see. There’s no such thing as
pulling out a needle and dying immediately. He’s scaring me.
The dog thief actually pricked my arms with needles and left me lying there like a fool.
“You did it on purpose?”
“I’m not,” Lu explains hurriedly. “I just want to make you suffer.”
“The needles I give you are all for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so that the bruises on your arms will disappear quickly.”
Just hang the needle for one night and it will be all right. I didn’t expect.. I
didn’t think I was ***ing worse! If
I can get up, I will bite him to death.
“Lu Cheng-chao, how can you compensate me?” I spoke in a choked voice, and I felt miserable. “I was stuck with a needle by you, and I was lying there alone being bullied..” Where is
your conscience! Can you sleep at midnight? Where is
my skirt! Look at the way he tore my dress! Tears dropped from the corners of my eyes
at the right time, and I wanted to applaud myself. “Here, I can only rely on you.”
Lu Chengzhao’s hand holding my arm trembled imperceptibly.
Then he took a small bowl of white porridge from the table, scooped up a small spoon and handed it to my mouth.
“Ah,” he said, “eat it. It’s delicious.” He fed
a small bowl of white porridge very slowly.
Sometimes he sweetly wiped the corners of my mouth with a veil.
In this village where he was so poor that he could only eat steamed bread, he did not know where he had found the rice. After
eating, he handed me a small jar of ointment. “Apply it yourself for the wound on your stomach.”. I’ll go out and wait.
I threw caution to the wind and said, “I can’t. My arm hurts.”
Then I’ll let Xiao Tao come. It was she who gave you the medicine last night.
“I won’t. I’ll let you paint it.” Anyway, I’m just shameless. There are only four days left. I have to take strong medicine.
Lu Chengzhao did not speak, and his ears seemed a little red.
“Or is there something wrong with you?” I forced him to ask, “Did you see it last night?”
Lu Cheng-chao’s face also turned red. “You can’t give a needle until you see it.”. Moreover, in the eyes of doctors, there is no distinction between male and female patients. That’s what
I’m waiting for.
I kicked the quilt down a few times. “In that case, why did you refuse to help me apply the medicine?”? Do you have a ghost in your heart?
Lu Chengzhao had nothing to say. He stood there, looking uncomfortable all over. The arrogance and indifference
before are all gone, and it looks silly.
I lay down and directed him, “Put the curtain down.”
Lu Cheng-chao was startled. “What are you doing?”
I rolled my eyes and said, “The sky is blue and the sun is white, and my belly is exposed. Isn’t it cold?”
He hesitated for a long time before he turned around and untied the bed curtain. The moment the
curtain was lowered, the air seemed to stagnate. The
bright sunshine only reached the window and could not penetrate the cascading curtains.
One side of the narrow space becomes dark in an instant.
But I can still see clearly every expression of Lu Chengzhao, as well as the sweat slowly oozing from his forehead. The
cold ointment was on the soft belly, along with his slightly rough fingertips. Pushing the ointment with
his finger pulp, he patiently smeared every inch of his skin.
Slowly, I felt that Lu Chengzhao’s fingers were no longer the familiar cool.
His fingertips also became hot, and I could even hear his heartbeat. The corners of
my mouth turned up gently, and the strong medicine worked. At
noon, there was a noise in the courtyard. There is not enough food in
the stockade.
Someone proposed to go down the mountain to the city to grab food, but someone stopped him.
Lu Chengzhao went out a little late because he took care of me.
Two groups of people almost started fighting.
As soon as he went out, he was asked to make up his mind.
I listened carefully through the bamboo window.
Lu Cheng-chao says, “We have no choice but to rob the rich merchants. We only rob them to fill our stomachs. We never engage in the business of killing and stealing goods.”
“Are you going into the city to rob the common people of their food?” Some
of the men retorted, “We didn’t say we were going to rob the people.”
“Oh?” Lu Cheng-chao asked in reply, “Well, tell me, with a few of our broken swords, which granary door can we knock on?”
The crowd fell silent.
Lu Cheng-chao’s voice rose again. “Men have plenty of strength. If they open up one more piece of wasteland in the back mountains, they can get one more piece of vegetable land.”
“If you’re strong, you can go hunting in the mountains with me later. What’s not a good way to fill your stomach?”
I’m going to suck my neck. How can I wait so long! The little woman in the house should be ransomed now. I knew it was Hong Wei as soon as I
heard it. It’s a pity that
a needle didn’t stick him to death.
“I warn you one last time.” Lu Cheng-chao’s voice suddenly became so fierce that even in the drowsy warm wind of midsummer, he could feel the chill to the bone. “Touch her again, and I’ll cut off your hand.” How to describe the feeling of
this moment.
I want to laugh and cry.
In the eighteen years of my life, the man who cherished me so much was a mountain thief.
But the end between us was already doomed at the moment we first met.
I won’t stay here. People like
Lu Chengzhao are not suitable to be the king of the mountain.
His heart is too soft. Soft-hearted people can’t get a good ending in the end.
Not long after, Lu Chengzhao pushed the door in and picked up the black bow hanging on the wall. When he was
about to go out, he stopped and turned back. “I’m going into the mountains to hunt. Do you want to go?” If I
can get out of the stockade, why don’t I go!
I got up quickly and followed Lu Chengzhao.
The others frowned at me and went deep into the forest in twos and threes.
Lu Chengzhao, carrying a quiver and a big bow, walked one step ahead of me.
I’ve never been so comfortable as I am now. Before I was
eight years old, I had to look after my younger brother to carry water and cook. After I was eight years old, I had to read people’s minds and read their words and expressions.
I have no time and no mood to pay attention to the flowers and plants around me.
At this moment, in the quiet woods, I found a rare peace.
Lu Chengzhao was not in a hurry and waited for me quietly on the spot.
I asked him, “Why did you take me out with you?”? I’m not afraid I’ll run away.
Lu Cheng-chao turned his back on me. “What happened yesterday, once is enough.”
With the sound of branches and leaves rubbing and shaking, Lu Chengzhao shot a rabbit at one go.
“Awesome!” I cheered loudly.
Seeing how excited I was, Lu Cheng-chao smiled. “Do you want to try?”
I looked at his black bow with embarrassment.
The bow was big and heavy. If my arm hadn’t been hurt, I would have dared to try. Now I can’t lift it with one arm.
Lu Cheng-chao said, “I’ll help you.”
He encircled me in his arms, held the bow for me with his right hand, and handed me an arrow with his left hand. His chin rested on my shoulder as the
arrow rested on the string. The
intimate cuddling posture made me panic in an instant.
Through the light material of midsummer, I can clearly feel Lu Chengzhao’s chest on my back, solid and powerful. The heartbeat under
his chest was confused, but he still pressed his breath and turned his head slightly.
His lips scraped my earlobe, and he asked me in a low voice, “I’m with your lover.” Who is more powerful?
Amitabha!
If there’s a hole in the ground, I can get into it.
Lu Chengzhao just said a word, but I felt that my whole person was going to burn up.
His face was hot, his heart was hot, and even his palms were sweating.
The black bow slipped in his hand, and Lu Chengzhao held my hand directly in the palm of his hand. The fuller
the bowstring was pulled, the tighter the muscles on Lu Chengzhao’s body became. The
arrow pointed at the defenceless little rabbit under the tree, but he was still unrelenting. “Answer me.” How
can I say this.
My lover is a fake at all! “Of course you’re awesome,”
I mumbled with a guilty conscience.
Lu Chengzhao laughed.
But when he laughed, he didn’t let go and helped me shoot the rabbit under the tree.
I broke away from his arms, picked up the rabbit and ran forward.
My face is boiling hot, dead mountain bandit leader, beautiful man trick is too powerful, I really some can not resist. As I
ran, I felt something was wrong. There was something running on the side, and the ground trembled with it.
Lu Chengzhao’s bow and arrow shot ahead of me and plunged into the thing. The wild boar with
black skin and fangs howled and approached me again in spite of the pain.
I closed my eyes in despair and fell into a warm embrace.
Lu Chengzhao protected me under his body, and his back was pierced by the wild boar’s tusks. When the
sharp and long fangs were pulled out, they brought out a deep and long scar.
Lu Chengzhao’s pale face was covered with sweat, and he trembled slightly with pain.
It’s only a moment, but it’s a long time for me. It
was so long that I could see the tiny pores on Lu Chengzhao’s face and the pain he was trying to hide.
I tried to call his name, but he pushed me into the grass pit beside me in great pain.
Wild boar skin is thick, ordinary arrow feathers are difficult to penetrate, when Lu Chengzhao turned over, he grabbed the black bow and put it on the head of the wild boar, pulling his arms firmly upward.
The boar whimpered and wailed, dying.
The stout four hooves dug deep holes in the wet ground of the forest. Every time
its body twisted, the wound on Lu Chengzhao’s body gushed out a stream of blood. Without thinking,
I climbed up, pulled out the dagger hanging from his waist, and plunged it into the boar’s eyes. When I
pulled it out, a stream of heat sprayed me in the face.
The bowstring went into the flesh to contain its resistance, and I raised my knife and cut its trachea. The vicious
wild boar finally became a pool of dead meat.
I helped Lu Chengzhao move to the tree step by step.
Seeing me shed tears, Lu Chengzhao laughed. “Stop crying.”. Would your lover die of anger if he knew you were crying for another man?
What time is it, and he’s still saying that!
I sobbed and tried to stop his blood with my hand.
“I shouldn’t have come with you.” “I’m the one who’s dragging you down.”
“Actually, I’m very happy.” Lu Cheng-chao helped me wipe the dirty blood from my face. “I thought you’d run away.”
“But you didn’t.” Before he fainted, he whispered, “You didn’t..” The other people in
the stockade rushed over and carried Lu Chengzhao up the hill. When I
went back, my heart was in a mess.
Want to remember the way down the mountain, but the eyes have been looking at the faint Lu Chengzhao uncontrollably.
I have never prayed to God in my life.
God will only pity those rich and powerful people, so that they are rich and luxurious.
So that they can go out and sit in a sedan chair, and someone can hold an umbrella.
The poor have nothing.
They can only rely on their own weak willpower to survive. I figured
this out at the gate of the Chen Mansion ten years ago.
So, I never asked for anything.
I don’t owe the world anything. It owes me.
The young lady said that I had a strong temper, like a wild horse, and never bowed my head.
Fierce horse is to run in the grassland, it has strong limbs, shiny fur, and the heart of the room. When the wind of
the prairie blows, it can go up against the wind; under the scorching sun, it can also run freely. Everything
a spirited horse has, I don’t have.
I’m just an impostor for Miss Chen’s servant girl.
I know I don’t deserve to be called a fierce horse. I will be a weed kicked by a fierce horse.
Even if the wind comes, I can find the right time to pull back.
But at this time, I sat on the edge of the bed and watched Lu Chengzhao, but my back was soft.
I put my hands together and prayed to God to bring the pale man on the bed back to life.
Lu Chengzhao has been suffering from a high fever. There was no extra money in
the stockade to ask for a doctor, and Lu Chengzhao was treating minor illnesses and injuries before.
Now he’s lying in bed, and no one cares.
He had only been in a coma for three days, and all the people in the stockade looked strange.
Hong Wei’s wound, which was pricked by me that day, was scarred. Looking at it coldly, it was very ferocious. Recently,
he was surrounded by a few strong men, muttering in the corner, not knowing what they were talking about. There are fewer and fewer people who
do not agree to go to the city to rob the people of silver and grain.
Wild boars are gone, they don’t know how to hunt, and it’s only a matter of time before they agree to rob other poor people.
I locked myself in the room with Lu Chengzhao. He
put the table against the door and wrapped the bed curtain around the window.
I seem to have made a cocoon, in which there are only me and Lu Chengzhao.
Every night, someone knocks on the door. I don’t know who he is.
Sometimes he would say something stupid, and sometimes he would just laugh.
I shivered with fear and hid on the innermost side of Lu Chengzhao’s wooden bed.
When I called his name, he sometimes rolled his eyes slightly, but more often he was silent.
I shrank in Lu Chengzhao’s arms and thought, what bad luck.
I hate making choices.
Tomorrow is the day when the people in the stockade think they can receive the ransom, but they can’t.
When the time comes, Hong Wei will be the first to cut me with a knife.
I haven’t eaten for three days, and I seem to be starving.
There are two ways to die in front of me. It’s not easy for
anyone.
But I am quite optimistic, and I can always think of something funny when I am miserable.
For example, when I met Lu Chengzhao for the first time, how could I imagine that it would end up like this.
I imitated his appearance at that time and pinched his jaw.
Lu Chengzhao is even thinner than I expected, with clear jaws on his face, and he feels quite slippery.
I imitated his accent.
“Lu Chengzhao?”
“Is that Lu Cheng-chao, who reigned over the mountains and robbed his family?”
“You have been king for more than ten years. Today is the time for you to pay your debts.”
“Well, what am I going to do to you?”
“For you, Lu Cheng-chao, of course you have to rape first and then kill.”
I raised my neck and sniggered.
Laughing, she began to cry. “Wake up quickly. If you don’t wake up, I’ll be raped first and then killed.”
“I like you. You have to come in person.” As I
silently wiped away my tears, I heard a voice in the darkness. “Are you telling the truth?”
I was startled and subconsciously wanted to look up at him, but Lu Chengzhao held him in his arms.
His arms are so quiet, no longer a strong heartbeat, but like a heavy snow after a winter night, cold and lifeless.
He asked me in a daze, “That’s what you said.” Does it count?
“It counts.” I choked and nodded. “As long as you get better, I won’t go back on my word.” A faint laugh came from
overhead. “You’re just a little liar.” I’ve been lying to him ever
since we met.
I don’t mind him saying, “Actually, I..”
Lu Cheng-chao half hugged me and gently stroked my hair. “You’re not Miss Chen at all, are you?”
I hummed and asked him, “When did you know?”
“There have been many times,” says Lu Cheng-chao with a long sigh of relief. “The first time, you sat at my feet and ate steamed bread.”
His cheeks were bulging, and he looked very cute. I knew that at that time. How could the second young lady of the Chen family eat steamed bread so well?
I was so ashamed that I thought I had hidden it perfectly, but I didn’t think I had already revealed it.
“What’s more, Miss Chen is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.” Lu Cheng-chao laughed. “But you play the piano..”
I put my hand over his mouth. “Stop!”
A dog’s mouth cannot spit out ivory.
Laughing for a while, Lu Chengzhao went on to say, “So I sent someone to the neighborhood of the Chen family to inquire, and only then did I know that there was a servant girl named Yunxiang who ran away with the young lady.”
“Your name is Yunxiang, right?” Lu Cheng-chao gently rubbed his chin against my forehead. “How could you be so stupid as to die for someone else?”
I asked him, “If you already knew, why didn’t you expose me?”? You will not get the gold.
Lu Cheng-chao says, “Because you’re so stupid that I can’t bear it.”
“I’m stupid,” I said, clutching the tassels on the curtain. “Just because you can play the piano and be a doctor, I like you.” I can’t understand the expression on
Lu Chengzhao’s face, like joy and pain.
He just looked at me for a long time and then said softly, “You should go and get out of this place.”. If you go down the mountain and go north, you can walk to the official road, and you can go anywhere.
“All right, let’s sneak down the mountain while there’s no one watching.” I helped him out of bed. “Get out of this dump.”
He refused to get out of bed and stopped looking at me. His voice was hoarse. “Maybe if you go south, you can get to the city of Tai’an in two days.”. Go and find your lover.
“And you?” I asked him. When
the Lu family was convicted, I was lucky enough to escape with my life. It was already heaven’s mercy. I don’t need you to bear my hardships with me.
Yes.
He was badly injured, and he was a drag wherever he went.
The ten-day period is about to expire, and my death will come.
I should have left.
As long as I go down the hill, I am free to go wherever I want.
I don’t need to live in fear anymore.
You don’t have to eat rotten vegetable leaves in the village.
With my usual agility and intelligence, I can take root anywhere and live my own life.
You don’t have to wait on people anymore, and you don’t have to compromise anymore.
This is my dream opportunity.
18
As I said before. You
can’t judge a man by his appearance. A simple person
like me also hides selfishness. A little friendship born of a
short time together is never better than freedom and life.
Everyone has to think for himself, which is the creed that I have carved into my bones for eighteen years.
I wiped away my tears and looked at him.
Lu Chengzhao smiled, with some relief and some regret.
He pushed the wooden bed aside with all his strength. Under the
bed, there is a narrow and dark tunnel! The tunnel winds down and seems to lead to the outside of the mountain.
I was surprised and delighted. No wonder Lu Chengzhao said so confidently to let me go, there is such a mechanism!
Lu Chengzhao handed me the guqin and took off the small dagger from his waist.
He said, “Protect yourself on the way.”. Turn around and sell or pawn, as you please.
But remember, when I recover from my injuries, I’ll go and rob your Number One Scholar. If I’m not happy that day, I’ll rob you too. With
that, he pushed me hard into the tunnel.
I stumbled to the ground and looked ahead. The tunnel was dark. Looking back, the lights in Lu Chengzhao’s room were faint.
I gritted my teeth, left the light behind me, and groped my way forward.
The front is freedom, which I have been longing for for eighteen years.
As long as I go forward, I can get rid of the conscience and anxiety that I have abandoned.
Lu Chengzhao has been left behind by me. I can’t feel his breath, and I can’t hear him call my name.
I finally escaped from this dark place.
I stood at the foot of the mountain, the wind was blowing in the mountains, and I was the only one crying quietly under the silent night sky.
Looking at the stars in the sky, my cold and hard heart suddenly ached. What
Lu Chengzhao gave me is worth a few pieces of silver? I don’t like
my aunt.
I have a crush on him. Die together
even if you die!
I ran back along the secret passage.
I pray that God can slow down the passage of time.
So that the desperate and helpless man can hold on a little longer.
I thought of every love poem that the second young lady had read to me under the moon.
In those tender and touching poems, I have also imagined the appearance of my husband.
But at this moment, they all became Lu Chengzhao. Lu Chengzhao, who is annoying on the
mouth, is actually doing everything for me silently.
He is the right man for me.
A pair of big hands covered my mouth. My
limbs were completely immobilized and I couldn’t struggle.
Beyond the mottled shadows of the trees, I saw the second young lady appear in front of me.
I thought I was dazzled, but she called out my name clearly. “Yunxiang, don’t scream. I’m here to save you.” The men who had
pressed me straightened me up, and Wang Sheng explained, “These are all heroes who have come to help.”
“Wanru and I were afraid of revealing our identities, so we didn’t dare go to the government to ask for help, and we couldn’t go back to the Chen Mansion. When there was no way to ask for help, it was they who lent a helping hand.”
It turns out that fate is a gift to me.
It wrote down everything silently when I was suffering.
When I really need it, give me back a hundred times and a thousand times. When
I went through the secret passage, I was thinking that God didn’t owe me anything.
It gave me a wonderful master and a wonderful husband.
I will never curse God again. At the end of the
secret passage, there was a slight flash of light, which was reflected by the torches in the courtyard through the window lattice. There was a lot of noise
outside, and Hong Wei shouted the loudest.
“Lu Cheng-chao is probably dead. Come with me and bring out the little girl.”
“When it’s over, send it to the Chen family to get the gold, and you won’t have to worry about food and clothing in your next life!”
No one stopped it, no one refuted it. Some people
even say, “Actually, Lu Cheng-chao is also a fugitive wanted by the government.”
“If he can still breathe, he has a lot of money to take.”
“If you die, you can get half of the silver back.”
The crowd seethed and beat at the flimsy door.
I looked up and saw Lu Chengzhao sitting in a chair, holding my handkerchief in his hand.
As if he could not hear the disturbance outside, he looked at the hole I left. Is
he reminiscing?
But just ten days together, there are not too many good memories to recall.
Or maybe he’s waiting.
Wait for a girl who will never come back.
Seeing me, Lu Chengzhao couldn’t help laughing.
That smile, like through the endless sorrow and yearning, blooms quietly in the dark.
I rushed over and hugged him. “Lu Cheng-chao, do you dare to marry me?”
Lu Cheng-chao clasped me in his arms. “Is your lover a fake?”? Why did you come back for me?
“Don’t worry about why I came back. I’ll ask you whether you want to marry me or not.”
Lu Cheng-chao’s smile is brighter than summer sun: “Marry!”
We escaped from the secret passage and rode in a carriage that had been prepared for a long time.
I looked up to the top of the mountain, where the flames rose.
Lu Chengzhao’s home is gone, but he has me.
I no longer envy the second young lady, because I have a him.
We started a new journey in the dazzling light of the fire.
I discussed with Lu Chengzhao that when he recovered from his injuries, he would sneak back into the stockade and pick up the peach.
I have a husband, a young lady, and a sister.
God is so kind to me!
