Because of a small mole,
Tao Dujun forced me to become his concubine.
He held me in his arms, his eyes flushed, and pinched my waist. “Ah Shao,
if only you were her.”
“Pow.”
I sneered and slapped the man in front of me.
To be your concubine? Tao Dujun gave up this idea as soon as possible.
Tao Min sat with his legs folded, his eyebrows low, his eyes sharp and arrogant.
“Lu Shao, it was you who first fainted at the gate of the Governor’s Office.”
I laughed back angrily and wanted to give him another slap.
Famine refugees rushed to the city to escape. When I was fleeing from famine, I was exhausted and fainted at the gate of the Tao
Mansion. In his opinion, I was deliberately seducing him?
Tao Min stopped my wrist. “Carefully, my hand hurts.”
His voice was languid, and there was a sense of triumph. “Miss Lu should know herself. Now she can’t fly out of the palm of Tao’s hand.”
I became Tao Min’s fourth aunt. The day that
he dwelt in my house reeked of wine. Holding my waist
easily, I lifted my cheongsam and reached in.
He said, “Keep your scissors.”
I pressed under the pillow, and I didn’t know whether to pull out or not the hand that had grasped the handle of the knife.
Tao Min held me down and stood up. “If you don’t want to suffer, just listen to me.”
I exclaimed, “Oh, you’re a ***ing lunatic!”
He said he was.
Halfway through, the tyrannical intrusion was replaced by a gentle caress.
His big palm lingered on my body, moved back to my face, and finally stopped at the tip of my nose.
He kissed the little mole on the end of my nose.
He said he loved that little mole. “Lu Shao,” said
Tao Min with a low smile, “you really have a good face.” I bit him hard on the shoulder, and the smell of blood spread through my mouth. “So do
you.”
The tyrant stayed up late and killed people. Crush over and over, and never know how to take
pity on a beautiful woman. I couldn’t get up alone
the next day.
I simply ignored everything and went back to sleep. It was not until noon that I saw Tao
Min’s other three concubines. The one
in yellow cheongsam smiled when he saw me. The
servant girl said that she was an actor, Tao Min’s second aunt.
Her eyes are like mine, with long and narrow ends and double eyelids sweeping back
like butterfly wings.
My aunt’s face is like mine, and my third aunt’s mouth is like mine. I can’t
blame Tao Min for saying that I have a good face. It
‘s not good, it’s like. There is no wife in
this family, and he is not allowed to have one. That leaves us four women. A table is like four
legs, all like the same person.
It’s not that they’re like me, it’s that we’re all like someone else. I
don’t know who I look like. I only know that Tao Min is sick. When he came to my room again in the
evening, I prepared the scissors to greet him.
He laughed. “Are you tired of using the same trick twice?”
“Do you get tired of seeing the same woman twice in a row?” I dissed back. What can
I do? I am a little girl who has no strength to tie a chicken. What do you use
instead of scissors, gnawing with your teeth and tearing with your hands?
Tao Min smiled and said he was not bored.
“This is my governor’s office, and you are my concubine. I can sleep whenever I want.”
I scolded him for being shameless.
He is not annoyed, greedy for my body like his battlefield gallop, unbridled.
I scratched his back and gritted my teeth and asked him, “Tao Min, whose substitute am I?”
His body paused, his expression was gloomy in an instant, and a pincer palm gradually tightened to strangle
me.
“Shut up if you want to live.”
I shut up. In the morning, I felt his gun. I
put it next to my pillow, and if I move gently and quickly, I can get it. When
Tao Min opened his eyes, I was pointing a gun at him. “Don’t move.”
“Shoot.” Laughing grimly, he leaned forward with his bare upper body. “I told you to shoot
me.” As soon as
I closed my eyes and gritted my teeth, I threw caution to the wind-
the result was different from what I thought, at least no bullets flew out.
Tao Min grabbed the gun, clattered it, and then pushed it against my forehead. “If the bullet isn’t
loaded, how can it be opened?”
I know that now is a serious state of death, frozen in place, even dare not breathe loudly
. “Get dressed,”
he ordered.
I didn’t dare to refute it again, so I put on my cheongsam and was carried to the yard by him.
He pointed to the well in the backyard. If you
don’t want to be a concubine, if you want to be a virgin, jump down. I’ll leave you a
whole body without breaking your skin.
I shook my head, shrank back again and again, and was thrown to the gate by his waist. You want to go, get out now. I won’t keep you.
I took a few steps forward and turned back to him. “What’s the matter?”
He snorted.
I muttered in a low voice, “No money..”
He laughed, “You are an evil God invited by our Tao family, and you have to spend money to send
him away.”
But he still beckons:
“Adjutant Liu.” “Give her a bag of silver yuan,” Tao Min ordered.
Soon a young adjutant with a handsome face took a bag of money and hurried over.
I took the heavy money bag and hesitated again.
“Now what?” Tao Min tilted his head and looked playful.
That.. I haven’t had breakfast yet. Can I eat before I go?
Tao Min stood where he was, his hair in a mess, and his handsome features shining in the sun.
He looked at me with sarcasm in his eyes. “You don’t want to leave.”
Say I don’t want to give up, anyway, in this troubled times, people outside do not have enough to eat, I go out
with money alone is to die.
But Tao Min doesn’t think so. He thinks I can’t bear to part with him. “Admit it, you like me,”
he whispered, pressing on my waist.
Like him-
I touched his face and told him, “You are the only one I like
.”
He could not understand my overtones. As the saying goes, love begins with the skin, and he felt that it was the evidence that I liked
him.
Early in the morning, the whole farce came out, and he happily went to the Military Affairs Office. I had nothing to do
and was invited to form a table with his concubines.
I slapped down a piece of chicken.
“What’s the matter, sister, so angry?” My aunt is too kind to ask me.
She was a butcher’s girl, and as a daughter, she often dealt with peddlers and pawns, and she was the best at doing things on the basis of face
.
“Nothing.” I saw
Tao Min’s arrogant look in front of my eyes.
“Disgusting.” “It’s a little too early for my sister to ask for a favor by getting pregnant. Don’t count it as a bad day.” The second aunt
asked for her new curly hair and said, “Besides, there are no babies in this house.”
“Second Sister!” Aunt is too kind to her.
Her eyes were a little evasive. “Don’t talk about what you have or don’t have.”
Yes, I’ve only been here for a few days. Naturally, I’m still an outsider. I can’t listen to the pickling in this house. The third aunt, who
had been silent all the time, spoke.
I heard that she was a quiet student before.
“Ah Si, the fruit delivery man, is coming. You can ask him for more to clear away the heat and relieve the internal heat
.”
Aunt Tai patted her hand.
This kind of big house, snacks are delivered by a special person. I don’t know
how much oil and water a person like Ah Si who runs once a day can get. Siduo and
I asked for some longans, and when we handed the silver yuan to him, we closed his fingers and whispered
to him, “If you do something for me, I’ll pay you a hundred times more than that.”
People die for money. I
ordered the kitchen to make longan, medlar and kidney soup, and I personally brought it to Tao Min.
Tao Min is in the room where he deals with military affairs. There is a big map of China hanging in it. And he didn’t know what he was writing on the table.
I took out two pieces of paper to cover the soup bowl and said, “I’ll mend it for you.”
Tao Min buckled up the one he was writing and said, “Who let you in
?”
I imitated the tone of my second aunt, who had just said, “They’ve come to comfort the military governor because he’s tired
.”
“Speak well.” He pointed to the bowl in front of him. “What is this?”
“Longan-medlar-kidney-soup.”
I deliberately widened the reading gap between each phrase and almost laughed out loud when I thought of the
strange eyes of the kitchen maid just now.
“Strengthening Yang and tonifying the kidney?” Tao Min’s eyes flashed up. “Do you think this governor can’t satisfy you
?”
“What are you talking about?” I smiled as I covered my veil. “People don’t think that much.”
He put me in front of the table, drew a pair of big palms around his waist several times, and finally put me down.
“Change your clothes and go to a ball with the governor.”
5
Prom. I picked out a pink, pearl sequined, beautiful cheongsam, with high-heeled
shoes.
Tao Min leaned against the car door and looked at me. “Gaudy.”
I don’t care whether it’s gaudy or not, as long as it looks good.
He introduced me to the other warlords.
Everyone else had a secretive smile on their faces.
To the effect that, sure enough, another — a stand-in.
Everyone knows I’m a double.
So whose body did I take?
Tao Min hugged me and danced.
Ten steps, I stepped on his nine feet, and one step, I grabbed a fold of his shirt.
“Sorry.” I looked at him with a smile.
Tao Min tightened his palm on my waist and crossed my neck on the dance floor.
“You did it on purpose.” He said.
I giggled, “Tao Du-jun understands. Ah Shao was born in a small family. He can’t dance.”
He pushed me out and made a circle around the joined arms. A dance full of holes is also a perfect ending.
On the way home, Tao Min played with my fingers.
“Such beautiful fingers, Ah Shao.”
“Poor people don’t have fingers like that.” The fingers of a
poor family should be like an aunt, who has been pampered for many
years. No matter how good the grease is, it will be chapped and calloused. I
didn’t think it through.
“It’s my father who loves me.”
Love me, do not want me to do work.
Tao Min chuckled, “a girl who has never seen the world is not unable to keep up with the dance steps, but when she gets to
the dance floor, she can’t lift her head, and her legs are so weak that she can’t move.”
Like the third aunt, she was restrained by a small family.
“But I am bold.”
Tao Min grabbed my fingertip and paused for a few seconds, then suddenly fell out in anger.
He told the driver to stop and pushed me out.
“You are so bold that you are not afraid of darkness or hardship, and you will walk back by night.” Then he slammed the car door and walked away.
I told you Tao Min was sick.
Fortunately, he also left Liu adjutant. Adjutant Liu and
I looked at each other.
“Let’s go.” I smiled at him and said, “You have to go through this with me.” Adjutant
Liu was so young that he couldn’t even say a word of officialdom.
But when such a person says he doesn’t mind, he really doesn’t mind. He and
I walked on the road with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
What a broken road, with mud.
I took off my high-heeled shoes and carried them on my hands. There were two holes under my stockings, so I took them off and threw them away
. Adjutant
Liu opened the way with a flashlight.
Shining on my naked feet, I was so frightened that the light of the flashlight was all over the world.
“I, I..”
“Nothing, nothing.” I stabilize the morale of the troops. “Watch the road, watch the road.”
In the end, I really couldn’t walk any more. Sitting on the ridge of the field, I said to adjutant Liu, “Why don’t we sleep
here in the open air? I don’t mind.” Adjutant
Liu said in a small voice, “I’m only nineteen..” Still want to live a few more years..
I rolled over with laughter. Adjutant
Liu said his name was Liu yuan, and he grew up with Tao Min.
He talked a lot about Tao Min again.
Later, adjutant Liu carried me on his back for a while, and I threatened him.
I said it’s up to you. It’s all dead anyway.
We can’t go back tonight. He suspects that you slept with his concubine. He will find someone to shoot
you later.
We went back tonight, although you carried me, we sealed our mouths, and no one knew
that we could not die. Adjutant
Liu gritted his teeth and said yes.
I rested for a long time on the back of Adjutant Liu, which reminded me of my father.
Father’s back is broad and strong, unlike this thin boy.
Finally I asked him, “Who is the person in Tao Min’s heart?” Adjutant
Liu begged me not to ask him. Returned to the governor’s office after
a lot of hard work.
Tao Min is waiting for me in my room.
When I changed my muddy clothes and came back from a bath and rubbing, he hadn’t
left yet. As soon as
I lifted my foot up, “Roll.”
This man has no heart. I am like this, and he is still thinking about it.
“I have a month coming.”
Laugh to death, if I don’t come to the moon, dare to give him that bowl of soup?
I told him to find the other concubines.
“No.” He is like a child who has not got the candy and is wronged to cry.
“I’ll sleep with you in my arms.”
Tao Min’s hair is a little brown, thin and soft hair; eyebrow arch is very high, eyelashes
are very dense, lips are not very thin, not thick, ruddy.
This face-I stroked his
face greedily, as I had
done to another face in a dream. The bridge of the nose is high. Straight down, but the tip of the nose raised a small arc.
Like the other bridge of the nose that I have tried to touch countless times.
It’s just that the bridge of the nose, because of the gold-rimmed glasses, will
have two shallow dents when it is removed.
Tao Min is different, he has no dent in this place-how can it still be wet. Did he cry
?
I looked at this person with long hands and long feet curled up, and I felt a little distressed. How does it feel when the person you
like doesn’t like you? I would rather not know all my life, but
I do feel the same way all the time.
With a sigh, I tucked him in the corner of the quilt, then crept out of bed and went through every pocket of his coat
to see if there was anything I wanted. When I woke up
the next day, I felt sore all over. After walking for such a long time, I was not tossed about by Tao Min, which
was more painful than being tossed about by him.
Looking at someone who was still sleeping soundly, I kicked him out of bed. I felt sorry for him
last night. What a pity.
He looked at me sleepily with half a quilt on the ground.
The next moment his eyes turned ferocious. “Lu Shao!” Forgive me for speaking frankly, Tao Min’s staring expression is a bit like the wolf dog raised by my father.
He stood up, pressed on one knee on the bed, and pressed me down.
“Lu Shao, who gave you such courage?”
“From the governor.” I looked up nonchalantly and circled his chest with my fingers. “Does the
governor know where this courage comes from?”
“I don’t care if I walk at night.”
I stretched out my fingernails, which were dyed with bright red, to look at the light and put them on my cheek.
“If I were to scratch my face now, I don’t know if the governor would be distressed.”
Tao Min grabbed my hand. “If you destroy this face, you won’t have to live.”
Then he slammed the door and left.
I dressed up and went to the barracks to find him.
Tao Min looked up at me from the military defense map, with an evil spirit in his eyes.
“I want to win the favor of the governor.” I put my hand around his neck.
“Ah Shao is now very conscious of being a concubine.” Tao Min drew out a cool smile
. “Lu Shao, are you cheap?”
“Each other.” I brushed my hand across his face. “I deceive others, and the governor deceives himself
.” He leaned back loosely and held me in his lap.
“You better hope I don’t get tired of you too soon.”
He is not tired, at least not now, and let me do whatever I want.
He has always been partial to me.
I knew that when a man is willing to obey you, he should make the most of his
love.
He treated me well. He sent me boxes of gold, silver and jewels, and wrapped me in
different silks and satins. He took me out to meet people and would crouch down in the street to rub my ankles.
Second Auntie leaned against the door frame to pick her teeth. “Oh, no one else is so lucky.”
Good luck has had, they have had.
As long as the Lord is not dead, there are tens of millions of Lu Shao. I transcribed the military defense map I saw
that day from memory and asked Ah Si to hand it out
for me.
Tao Min always likes to hold my waist and let me die with him. Sweating on the tip of his
nose, he said, “Ah Shao, Ah Shao..”
One after another, the love is tender and vague. I also feel like I’m in a fog.
If that man. That man.. It’s good to die in one place. But I blamed myself for being too sober
to know that it would not be that person.
That man, I never had a chance. In the
turbulent situation, Tao Min on my body turned into my God.
I kissed him on the tip of his nose.
He put all his kindness to another person on me.
Spoil, spoil, spoil to become like love.
But I’m too sober to love him.
It is a pity that some people were blinded by the illusion and capsized with red eyes. One
day, three other concubines came to me and asked me to play cards.
Coincidentally, I was rubbing my stomach to digest. I have
this constitution. If I eat a little more, my stomach will be highlighted. After a while, I will
return to my original state quietly.
But in the eyes of others, it becomes a different picture.
“Fourth Sister, what are you..” Got it? Aunt is too worried. No. It’s just that I’ve been eating a lot lately, and my waist is a little plump.
I’m telling the truth.
I like Tao Fu’s food, Tao Min likes me to eat more, he said that more meat feels good,
it is best to have some soft milk fat on his face.
It’s more like that guy.
As soon as I finished speaking, I vomited, as if I were deliberately lying.
Actually, I really nausea.
But others don’t think so.
Tao Min was furious because someone had touched the Lord’s things.
When the flames of war spread to me, the picture of that man was found under my bed, which was severely poked and rubbed by
the pen.
And some of the Lord’s other gadgets were found under my bed. It was at that time that
I knew who Tao Min really liked.
The man’s name is Tao Qiao, his own sister.
I smiled at Tao Min in my room, holding another picture of an intact girl printed with a doll roll and a small dress, born like a doll
, with a small mole on the tip of her nose. “Just for her?” I said, “You’re disgusting.”
Tao Min locked me up, forbidding others to approach, and forbidding me to eat. I
didn’t think I was popular, and someone was willing to disobey him to help me. Adjutant
Liu had a nervous look on his face when he furtively opened my door at night,
which made me think that he had come to help me dig a tunnel to escape.
But he just has a few big steamed bun.
The governor said.. Don’t let you eat, I think a long time always can not get through, so
. I have something for you to eat.
He took out a paper package wrapped in oiled paper. “There are scrambled eggs inside.”
“Be so nice to me.” I looked at the handsome young man in front of me, deliberately getting close to him, and my
eyes rolling. “Adjutant Liu, do you like me?”
“Who likes you?” Tao Min came out of nowhere, stepped on military boots, stood
in the yard in the night wind, and stepped forward.
“Do you think he dares to come and bring you food without my instructions?”
He waved to Adjutant Liu, “Let’s go.”
Liu’s adjutant flew away.
When Tao Min came into the room, I picked up the upside down cup on the table and poured a cup of tea. “The governor lies.”
Tao Min raised his eyebrows.
“If it was really at the behest of the military governor, why would they have to come in two groups and just happen to meet?” I chuckled
. “He just likes me.”
Tao Min sat on the table with one hand on my shoulder.
“Yes, Miss Lu Shao is very skillful. I don’t know what tricks she used, but even the adjutant of this governor
was fascinated.”
I squint my eyes and smile like April. “Charm.”
“Charm?” Tao Min sniffed.
After a while he began again, “Are you in no hurry to be wronged?”
“No hurry.” I looked at him and said, “Lu Shao believes that the military governor can always find out who is behind
this.”
“Lu Shao.” His Adam’s apple rolled down, he said. “Just call me by my name.”
Tao Min?
I laughed and asked him, “Why don’t you just call you’Brother ‘?”
I always have a word to make Tao Min’s hair explode.
But who is the person who framed me? Is it an aunt who is always gentle and kind, but in fact, her words are not right, and her mouth is full of honey and her belly is full of swords?
Is it the enchanting and charming second aunt who secretly harbors discontent and jealousy?
I didn’t expect to see the quiet and dutiful third aunt. On the day when the
third aunt was pulled to kneel in the front hall, the sunshine was particularly good.
Her eyes were full of malice that was so vicious that it overflowed.
“Why?” How can a girl
like a white lotus flower have such a vicious heart
.
She said to me, “I want her to know that she feels the same way I do.”
She stands in the local area, a simple gardenia plain cheongsam. The tone of voice is not like asking
or confessing, like talking to God in the Holy Church.
“Aren’t we all alternate bodies?” Only then did
I know that the third aunt once had a child. She had an abortion when
she was pregnant for three months.
Tao Min’s voice was cold. “I told you that the doctor said you were not in good health and were not
fit to conceive.” Excuses! They are all excuses! The third aunt was suddenly emotional and her eyes were about to crack.
“I’ve never been in bad health. That baby stayed in my belly so well that
I never felt bad.”
As she spoke, she scratched her face crazily, and the blood stains appeared,
so that the spectators were afraid to scratch their hearts.
“You love her, but you dare not let her find out. From the bottom of your heart, you feel that having a child
with another woman makes you sick!”
“You don’t even want our baby!”
“From the beginning to the end, we are the tools of your desire!”
She rushed over like crazy and got shot in an argument with Tao Min.
Aunt Tai screamed.
I saw with my own eyes that a living life turned into a blood flower and died in front of me.
At my feet, the blood flowing from my mouth and chest soiled the ground.
She didn’t even close her eyes.
It seems to say-look, this is the way forward for you.
Tao Min covered my eyes. When I go to bed at night, I leave the Braised Spare Ribs to Tao Min, who rests his chin on my shoulder
socket.
“Is she really unfit to conceive?”
Tao Min did not speak.
The third aunt is too dead.
They all said, “What a bad luck!”
Aunt, however, took care of her funeral and funeral affairs, and did it herself.
“Don’t take it amiss, sister.” She said to me, “All the women in this house are like this. If they stay for
a long time, they will go crazy.”
She has a good heart.
She doesn’t like Tao Min. She had stayed
in this cage-like governor’s office for a long time, and her heart was full of the kindness that her grandmother had taught her
.
“Leave if you don’t like it.” I lowered my eyes and told her, “Go back to your own home.”
“If you run into any trouble, you can go to the Lu Grain Shop. Mention my name and they’ll help
you..” “Home?” She was startled, and the next moment the shaking in her eyes flashed out.
“The governor..”
“I’ll tell him to let you go.”
I looked at her wrung hands.
“Auntie, get out of here, go find your parents, and live your own life..”
“Call me Su-mei. I haven’t been called that for a long time.” She held my hand and
her mouth turned upside down.
“The third sister who has gone is Ching-chih, and the second sister is Chin-mei.” “We should
have our own names,” she said.
On the eve of this winter, Sumei left. On the day
she left the mansion, Tao Min gently hugged me from behind. “Leprechaun, your hand is so
long.”. Let my men go when you say so.
I nestled in his arms, keeping warm by his body heat. “Just keep the one that looks the most like me.”
Yes, I will rely on his favor to do the most unscrupulous things.
Until Tao Qiao came back.
12
“Brother” The first snow fell on the day Tao Qiao came back.
She nestled in Tao Min’s arms, a pair of big eyes filled with water, a nifty
mole on the tip of her nose, and her face was really like mine.
I saw Tao Min gently rubbing her hair, and her voice choked with sobs: “Ah Shao.”
Tao Qiao’s nickname is Ah Shao, the top of the tree, because she could not distinguish these two
words when she was a child, and made a lot of jokes.
What a funny explanation.
Therefore, every sound of affection in the bed, “a Shao” — “a Shao,” is
a thought for another woman.
I hooked my lips and turned away.
No wonder he was angry when I said I was bold.
His baby sister was bold enough to leave a note and dare to leave him
to go to troubled times to find his own parents, which made him a crazy tyrant.
We had dinner together to welcome Tao Qiao.
I, Tao Min, Tao Qiao, the second aunt.
He can’t let go of others. In his eyes, all the dishes on the
table were prepared to be put into Tao Qiao’s bowl. I put the bowl of rice in front of me on the table and said, “I’m full.”
Tao Min’s voice came over, “Lu Shao!”
I looked back at him.
What’s the matter? He had done a lot of unreasonable things before, and he laughed them off. Is it different when Tao Qiao comes
back?
Sure enough, there is no way to end the love.
“Nauseous and full.” I say.
Then continue to walk out without looking back.
There was a clatter of footsteps coming closer and closer.
The second aunt twisted her hips and walked in front of me. In the
evening, Tao Min didn’t come to my room.
That’s funny. It’s not the one who can’t sleep without hugging me. If
he doesn’t look for me, I will go to find him.
Kick open the door. Adjutant
Liu is still stopping me.
“Auntie, don’t do this..” Tao Min raised his head coldly.
“What are you doing?”
“See if there’s someone hiding in your room, a lady from the governor’s office, your sister?” Adjutant
Liu was so frightened that he tried to cover my mouth.
Tao Min dropped the scroll in his hand and came over to clamp me vigorously.
“Lu Shao, you deserve to die.” Most of the people in the
Tao Mansion woke up, and the house was brightly lit, more lively than in the daytime.
Tao Qiao was also in the crowd, with a white and clean little face facing me. “Fourth sister-in-law,” she said in a timid
voice.
Because of the appearance of Tao Qiao, my relationship with Tao Min dropped to the freezing point.
He was busy trying to please Tao Qiao carefully, and I was happy to look on coldly.
Until he came to me drunk one day. The side of
the bed was suddenly sunken, and I didn’t even lift my eyelids. “Get out!”
“Lu Shao.” Tao Min pulled me over and pressed me on the shoulder. “Look at me.” I didn’t have his good night vision, and it took me a long time to see his
face in the dark.
Then he turned on the bedside lamp. The
harsh light forced me to cover my eyes. “If you come to find fault, just say so.”
He’s not here to find fault, he’s here to vent.
He insisted on touching my face again and again by the bright light, listening to my moaning, and
kissing the little mole to say that he loved me.
“Ah Shao-
-I scratched him with my red eyes.”.
“Tao Min, don’t you feel sick that you like your sister?”
Tao Min released me slightly.
And then launch a more aggressive offensive.
In the end, he hugged me, and his body was sticky
and hot because of the vigorous exercise just now.
“You don’t understand.” He said.
“Ah Shao doesn’t love me, but I love her.”
I don’t understand. I can still sit up and lean on the head of the bed with my arms around him.
His forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat, and his eyes were covered with an opaque film.
I looked at the low eyebrows and eyes and realized.
“Tao Min.” I asked him, “Did you feel guilty for the first time?”
“Do you feel particularly sorry for me when you see Tao Qiao, or do you feel sorry
for Tao Qiao when you see me?”
“You’re confused, aren’t you?” I touched his face so that my lips touched his cheek.
“You’re in love with me.”
Tao Min didn’t even look at me. He sneered, “You?”? Do you deserve it?
“Yes, I don’t deserve it.”
“You ought to have your precious sister come and enjoy herself, and see if she is as happy
as she is.”
“Lu Shao–” He reached out and clamped my neck and pushed me into the pillow.
He said, “Sometimes I wonder where you get the courage to shout like this.”
I was so hurt by the clamp that I almost suffocated. When he finally let go of his hand, he couldn’t
stop coughing.
Where does the confidence come from? I covered my neck and said to him that every word was clear.
“Tao Min, what I am in your eyes, you are in my Lu Shao’s eyes.”
Tao Min turned over and got out of bed.
The next day I was woken up by the news of the arrival of Fruit Ah Si. Holding up a box of apples,
he said, “I just picked fresh fruit early this morning, and I sent it to you specially to honor
you.” There was a note under the apple box that
Ah Si handed me.
I unfolded it, kneaded it in the palm of my hand, and pinched it to pieces. The wind
outside the door is heavy, the wind is blowing, and I know that what should come is finally coming. Two days after the
heavy snow and the first sunshine, we went winter hunting. A
line of mighty, Tao Min riding on a tall horse, cloak air, boots shining
. Tao Qiao and
I were on either side of him.
Followed by the lack of interest in the second aunt and the neat army.
The road was strangely quiet. Quiet-not the normal kind of quiet. A
sign of trouble.
Tao Min looked from my side.
A bullet grazed my elbow and flew into the hills behind.
Followed by a dense rain of bullets, suddenly, across the ear into a whir of wind.
He pulled me off the horse and held me in his arms. “Be careful.”
The bullets hit the trees and rocks, splashing earth flowers.
Through the chest, through the limbs spread into cries and moans of pain.
The fact is obvious-we have been ambushed. Warlords were separated in
troubled times, and several warlords of Zhang and Tao Min were irreconcilable. Now it seems that this
is being killed by the opponent.
“Brother!” Tao Qiao’s voice sounded on the other side of the road. Unable to escape,
she was shot in the leg and left bleeding. The veins on
Tao Min’s forehead burst.
We still have trees here, and there is nothing in Tao Qiao.
She was dressed in red again, and I don’t know how many snipers were staring at her on the hill behind her. If you get out, you’re a sitting duck.
I covered my elbow and grabbed Tao Min by the corner of his coat. “If you go out now, you will die.”
He pushed my hand away.
He saved my life. Instinctively, he did his best.
I have no reason to keep him and let him die.
The next moment my throat was fishy, and the words I shouted were swallowed
before I could speak.
The second aunt rushed up to block the fatal shot for Tao Min. The body
lying on the ground had a spasm, and the death was not pretty. Two days ago
she was talking to me in the courtyard. “I was in demand. If I hadn’t been with the
governor, I’m afraid I’d be a star by now.” The person who loves to dress up most
at ordinary times, the person who is satirized as coquettish and frivolous, stays in this winter forever
in this way.
She lost in a willing.
Tao Min didn’t even look back. The only dawn in
his heart, the flower that bloomed in winter
, had opened its arms in front of him. “Poof.” A bullet opened a small blood hole in Tao Qiao’s heart.
The most inconspicuous scenery in the world of ice and snow shocked the spectators with blurred faces.
Tao Min is in the same place.
At that moment, I thought. It’s
over. I can’t compete with her any more in my life. Adjutant
Liu led the reinforcements arrived, very timely to reverse the situation, to help Tao Min save a
life.
But Tao Qiao is gone.
Tao Min knelt on the road where the snow had not yet melted, holding Tao Qiao’s body
, which was getting cold, against her cheek, and calling softly one after another.
“Ah Shao, Ah Shao..”
But how can dead still hear the echo.
Finally, he held Tao Qiao in his arms, roared at the top of his voice, and fired a gun into the air. His eyes were so bloodshot
that the birds in the trees were about to fall off.
He fell to the ground and laughed with blood and tears.
Had it not been for revenge, he would have shot himself and died for love. Adjutant Liu came over to help me, but I held him back. “I’ll go by myself.”
The governor’s office is as cold as outside.
For so many days, I have never felt it so cold.
Cold as if everyone had never existed.
It turns out that I said before, “Just keep the one that is the most similar.”
It turned out to be a prophecy. The light was on in the room where
Tao Min handled military affairs. I pushed the door and went in.
“Tao Min.”
He can’t hear.
He had already buried his soul with Tao Qiao.
I guess his heart must have turned a thousand times, and countless times he was so upset and regretful that he wanted to kill himself
-why I was the first person to save that day.
“Tao Min.” I walked over to him and slapped him. “I’ll show you
me!”
I grabbed him by the collar and asked, “Will you not live without Tao Qiao?”
Tao Min looked at me coldly for a moment. Then he swept all the things on the table and pushed me on it.
He sucked my lips vigorously, and after I bit them, they were separated, and there was blood on them
. With a faint light in his eyes,
he pinched my waist and asked me, “Why do you ask
that?”
Yes, why should I ask that? Tao Qiao died because of me, in all senses
.
I let him toss about on the cold table enough.
He leaned over my ear, panting like a wild animal.
His eyes were red and his voice was hoarse.
He said, “Lu Shao, perhaps I should kill you to make amends to Ah Shao.”
I looked at Tao Min good-looking facial features in a daze, virtual stroke up, gave birth to a sigh.
“You don’t want to give up.”
Tao Min seems to have changed back to his original appearance.
Untamed, fierce.
He clasped his fingers with me on the bed and whispered broken words between his teeth in a fierce collision. “Lu Shao–
he seems to have forgotten more and more about my original identity as a stand-in.”.
He began to spoil me as much as he could, even more than before. Mixed with some apology and sincerity, I
thought he was really in love with me. How could
he love me?
In fact, I know that his present position as governor is not stable. Things
outside came into the house more or less through rumors.
Repeated battles, repeated defeats.
Troops are damaged, weapons are consumed, provisions are in short supply, the set tactics are seen through, and the outflanking engagement
is always dominated by the opponent.
He took me to the barracks.
Hold me and watch.
Pull out a man and kill him.
A group of people trembled with fear, crying and begging for mercy.
Tao Min just laughed.
He put his chin on my shoulder socket and neck, rubbed his ears and temples together, and gently rubbed his forehead against
my face. “Lu Shao, do you know?”? There seems to be a mole in our house.
At that moment, I thought he had known the truth and wanted to execute me on the spot.
But he just hugged me and said, “What
if one day I die and there’s no one to support you?”
“Don’t worry.” I turned around and smiled at him. “Lu Shao has a great life and is clever. He can
live.”
He bit my ear and said I had no conscience.
I just smiled and touched his face, trying to distinguish him from another person.
This day, so there is no one to go down.
Until that day, he asked me to change my clothes and said he would take me out.
“Governor Yang has invited us to talk peace.”
Peace talks? With Yang Dujun?
This is Tao Min’s nemesis, Tao Min also knows that the day of the ambush is Yang Dujun’s
handwriting. Touching the gun,
Tao Min squinted at me and said, “Lu Shao, I’m afraid I’ll kill
him on the spot.”
That he, he deliberately bit a little harder. We arrived at the appointed place.
I took Tao Min’s arm and felt his arm muscles tighten as soon as I entered the door.
He fixed his eyes on the man who had taken his seat, and then turned to look at me, with disbelief
and rolling anger in his eyes.
The man looked like him, but his eyebrows and eyes were deeper, and he wore gold-rimmed glasses.
The face is square, adding the traces of years of chiseling.
I have told Tao Min too many times that I only love his skin.
I blame him for being too confident and never believing.
I let go of Tao Min’s arm and walked toward the man inside. I lowered my eyes and sat down beside him.
“Father,” I whispered
.
17
“Father?” Grinning grimly,
Tao Min turned over the tray in the waiter’s hand and pulled out a gun
from his bosom to point at his father.
“This is the good daughter you have raised.” The soup and broken porcelain on the floor were dripping, and the waiters were clinging to the wall, so frightened that they dared not even breathe
.
As soon as he stepped into the room, he was caught in the middle of a big drama.
“Tao Min!”
I pulled out a gun from the silk stockings under the cheongsam and pointed it at
him.
Tao Min laughed. Can you shoot
now? Lu Shao–His tone changed sharply.
“You’ve been acting from the beginning, haven’t you?”
I can’t argue with him.
Just still pointing the gun at him.
“Go.”
“Hello, Lu Shao.”
He laughed.
“When I saw my father, I wiped my face and refused to admit it.”
“What did you say in bed last night? Would you like to learn from him?” “Bang!”
The gun in my hand hit him in the shoulder. At the sound of the
gun, the waiter covered his head and screamed. The
harsh sound penetrated my eardrum, and I looked down at the smoking muzzle and felt a little
trance.
Why did you just-shoot?
“Lu Shao.” Tao Min covered his right shoulder with a touch of red at the end of his eyes and laughed
almost crazily.
Red streaks of blood crept up into his eyes. He opened his mouth and said to me, almost cursing
, “You’re disgusting.”
As I said before, he sent this sentence back to me to Tao Qiao.
Disgusting.
I admit it.
My father, Yang Dujun, who had made peace with Tao Min, just sat in his seat and watched
the farce quietly.
Now he stands up.
“Pow.” One shot, Tao Min’s right hand was probably useless, the pistol fell out of his hand and hit the ground, and
there was no sound after the rebound.
“Pow.” With
two shots, Tao Min bent his knees and almost fell to his knees.
But he still clenched his teeth and spoke to his father.
“That’s all you’ve got.”
His father kicked him to the ground and shot him in the ankle.
Tao Min crawled on the ground, struggling several times but still unable to get up.
His hands and feet were hanging in a strange gesture, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was as discomfited as a
lost dog.
My father stood beside me looking down at him and gave him a gentle smile.
“Ah Shao is one of mine. You shouldn’t insult her.”
He raised the gun in his hand again, this time aimed at Tao Min’s forehead.
“Father!” My
short voice goes straight out of my head.
“Spare his life.” My father never turned me down.
He looked at Tao Min lying on the ground and lifted his foot to let him go.
18
returned to his father’s house. It’s
also my home.
He stood at the door waiting for me to get out of the car, with a slight smile on his lips and fine
lines on his eyes.
I couldn’t help it any longer, so I rushed to hug him and gave him a heavy self. Wrapped
in the familiar smell, I sniffed deeply and greedily, trying to retrieve
the days I had lost from the smell.
He hugged me back.
Gentle, restrained, patting me on the back, fingertips around the hair.
“Thanks for your hard work.” He did the same thing when he picked me up from the street
more than ten years ago and patted me on the
back.
“Home.”
I fell in love with him from then on. “Ah Shao, you’re finally back.” Brother Yang Lin showed me a sincere smile
.
He is my father’s biological son, my brother who grew up with me. I
looked at him, and I saw the voice and face of another person, another twisted relationship.
“Brother.” After taking a bath
in the room, I felt as if I had been reborn.
Wiping his wet hair, he went to his father’s study and saw him writing at his desk. When I
was young, he also held my hand and taught me one stroke at a time.
“Peony.”
“The peony is beautiful. It looks like a flower. It matches you.”
I am Yang Shao.
He saw me come in and stopped what he was doing.
“Ah Shao is here.”
I put the towel on the chair, sat down and asked him.
“Do you think that Tao Min is your other son who is living outside?” There are many similar people in the
world, but I haven’t met such a similar one yet. In front of this person, if you are twenty years younger-will you be like Tao Min?
Too bad I can’t. The greatest regret in this life is that
you were born before I was born.
“Ah Shao, you think I was too romantic when I was young.” He leaned back and put his hand
on the seat handle.
“So what if it is?”
Not so much.
He already has a brother, Yang Lin, who is a legitimate son. Even if a lovely-looking bastard popped up from
somewhere else, it would be the same as if he hadn’t.
But it’s different for me.
My day and night illusion of imaginary sustenance, those happy nights, let me confused.
I approached him hoarsely and clung to him.
The atmosphere in the room was beautiful, and I begged him to take me.
He knows me. I believe he knows me.
Please. Look at me, look at Ah Shao.
I knelt on his knees, looked up at his face, trembled to untie his belt, and dared
to kiss his feet. His eyes are not necessarily not moved, with a little pity can not bear, but also gentle restraint,
stroking my hair gently read.
“Ah Shao.”
“That’s not right, Ah Shao.”
I half closed my eyes and my tone was sad.
“Do you dislike me?”
“No, Ah Shao.”
His voice was like a big hand grasping my heart to comfort me.
“It’s just not right, Ah Shao.”
I met Tao Min at the Lu Grain Shop.
Lu Hao Grain Shop, the property my father gave me. All the shops at the beginning
of the land number on those plots were gifts from my father.
Tao Min was in my place, holding a gun to my waist.
“Don’t make a sound.” Beside
him was Liu’s adjutant in disguise. I was silent, but he covered my mouth and nose, knocked me unconscious with a knife, and carried me back to the Tao Mansion. When he
woke up, he found that his hands were twisted and left on the bed belonging to Tao Min’s fourth aunt.
I stared at Tao Min coldly.
He was not completely healed, with an ugly scar on his wrist, and his legs and feet trembled when he walked.
Such a man was so bold that he robbed me back.
He put his hand on my cheek. “Ah Shao, you know how much I miss you.”
“Miss me?” The
gag was finally removed, I retorted.
“Tao Dujun is missing his sister.”
I asked him.
“Tao Min, why do you bother?”
“Yes, why bother, Yang Shao?” His hand rested on my ear, and his eyes
glowed.
“When Yang Shao-hua walks six, are you going to have a’Lu Shao ‘to disgust me?”
He leaned over and nibbled at my ear. “You want to do something for him so badly?”
“Even if you sacrifice your own body,” Tao Min’s tone has been cool all winter.
“Every time you *** to me, all you think about is his face
, isn’t it?” I gouged him out
with my eyes.
What’s the matter? Have you hit a nerve? He chuckled.
“It’s funny that you say I’m disgusting, but you’re indomitable, and you’re good at it.”
“Shut up.”
“Shut up?”
He laughed sorrowfully.
“How I wanted to shut you up when you knew you were a father!”
“You know how I wanted your father to shut up when he said you were his man!”
His fingertips fell on the buckles on my side, which had been slowly untied
one by one, but now he tore them with great force.
The right hand obviously does not have the strength, at this time spells the brute force to move, is bursts out the blood, along
his phalanx bit by bit, all drips on my body.
“Tao Min.” I
don’t know why I just feel sad. He got up from me and laughed a few more times.
“Are you particularly pleased to see me become a basket case?”
He emptied his injured elbow and slowly untied my clothes with his other hand.
When the kiss turned into an overwhelming desire, I knew I couldn’t escape.
He was gentle at first, but then he went crazy and tried his best to squeeze and demand.
I ate in pain, my hands were tied and I couldn’t move, so I had to bite everything I could reach with my mouth
, and the wound on his shoulder was bleeding. With a hissing sound,
Tao Min bent down and kissed the bloody tip of my nose.
He said, “Let us both die together.”
The next morning, Tao Min came to feed me gruel.
I refused to eat, so I took the bowl and threw it in the corner, and the bowl of porridge and rice was smashed.
Tao Min looked at me and smiled.
“Let you eat for your own good.”
He dragged me to another room, and when he stepped in, he could see a photo of Tao Qiao with a bright smile on
the temple. “Look,” said Tao Min, “won’t she be able to eat any more?”
I wriggled away from him.
“Let me go.”
“Did anyone leave me alone?” “My sister is so good,
who let her go?”
“Look at her, look at her!”
He twisted my face to the picture of Tao Qiao.
“She’s your sister, too!”
“What are you talking about?” I was still struggling.
“Ah Shao.”
His tone became unusually steady again.
“Ah Shao was a mute before.”
“Dumb-”
I froze.
Tao Min went on to say, “So you know how well I raised her. I even found a way to remove the small scar
on her eyelid.” He touched my eyelids.
I shivered. “You’re lying..”
I think of my younger sister. When she was adopted, she was small and thin, and when she cried, she couldn’t even make a
sound. I ran straight out of the nursery to chase her.
Tao Min laughed, “I’m not like you. I never lie.”
“You can’t find Ah-shao, because she was adopted by our concierge under a false identity
.”
“He just wanted to treat Ah Shao as an object to flirt with. It was only when I bumped into him that I saved him and
raised him to be his sister.”
Tao Min smiled again.
Do you know? Actually, Ah Shao left not to look for his own parents, but to look for his elder
sister.
“But she can’t find you.”
I I was taken home by my father, and the nursery hall did not know where I was going.
“And then.” Tao Min went on to say, “This silly girl has gone to your hometown
, including all the provinces around her.”
“She has endured famine, war, banditry, and desertion.”
He pulled my face and let me look straight into Tao Qiao’s eyes. “The only thing I haven’t been through is my own sister’s calculation.”
I remember that day when she was pierced into a cold corpse in front of my eyes, and her heart seemed to be pulled by two
hands, twisting a knot tighter and tighter.
I don’t believe.. I don’t believe..
So all I can recall is the sound of “Fourth Sister-in-law.”
I rushed close to the picture to see more clearly, but Tao Min grabbed my hair.
He won’t let me come near.
“You really deserve it.” He said.
Deserve it.
I really deserve it. On the day when
his father surrounded Tao Fu with his fighters, Tao Min’s spirit was not quite normal
. Sometimes
he would hug me and say, “Let us die together.” Sometimes he would put his hand on the end of my nose
and say, “My brother will buy you candy.”
I experience fire and ice in the moodiness of this tyrant. Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night, I suddenly find that Tao Min is not sleeping, but sitting on the edge of the bed playing with guns by
moonlight.
“Ah Shao.”
Or the slightly warmer “Ah Shao.”
Now he kisses me on the forehead. “Your father is here, Ashao.”
He pulled me out. “My father-in-law.” The
father nodded his head on the horse and said, “I can’t stand it.”
Tao Min sucked my neck. It was the first time
I saw such a clear intention of killing in my father’s eyes.
But because I was in front of Tao Min, no one dared to shoot.
Tao Min wrapped his finger around me, put it on his lips, kissed it, and smiled again.
“Why are you two getting involved with my Ashao?”
He pointed a gun at his father. “You die today.”
A small soldier came in with a flustered voice.
“Governor!”! Governor! No, there’s an ambush!
Father should go, at least for a moment, not to look at me and stay a look. Father!
I never knew a bullet was so fast that it could penetrate a man’s
chest before it could exclaim.
“Father!” I broke away from Tao Min’s bondage and stumbled to catch my father.
“Father, father..”
I tried to wipe the blood from his lips and hold his hand, trying to slow down the passage of
life.
“Father..”
This isn’t real, is it?
I’m just having a terrible nightmare, and when I wake up, my father will
still touch my hair with a warm finger bone, right?
“Ah Shao..” Father raised his hand and moved his lips.
I pressed close to his lips.
No sound.
He brushed his hand through my falling hair and said nothing in the end.
He will never tell me that he loves me too.
He wants me to live out the rest of my life. “Father–” I fell on him with a mournful voice. The sound
of more footsteps, hoofs, and gunfire lingered in my ears, and I did not
know the world.
Until I heard-
Tao Min was surrounded by soldiers at that time, more than a dozen guns aimed, and could not escape from the
Tao Mansion.
He pulled out a gun, too.
Tears are raging and smiles are sad.
He looked at me.
At that moment I thought he was going to take me with him.
But he just threw it out loud, tearing the soul apart with a soul-shaking sound.
“Ah Shao!” He shot
himself.
All mortals come to a sad end.
After that day I found out that I was with child. The lower abdomen swelled up little by little, and there was a healthy and strong life swimming
in the amniotic fluid. When
my brother asked me, I said, “Stay.”
My brother also asked me why I wanted to keep the child.
I thought for a moment and said, “The end has come to a clean end. I can’t bear it.”
Everything is over, everything is over. All the grudges between
us have come to an end. And this is an innocent
life. When
Yang Xiang was one month old, I entrusted him to my brother.
My brother asked me, “Is Yang Hsiang’s” Xiang “the” Xiang “of lovesickness?”
I shook my head. That’s
my intention, but I dare not admit it. The phase
of lovesickness turns into Xiang, and I even want to cover up my love. Then
he said, “In such troubled times, you must run away.”. A daughter’s home, away from the shelter of the family
, what can we do when we are in distress on the road?
I laugh.
Don’t worry, I’m lucky and smart. I can live.
