470: Those who come can still pursue [seeking a monthly ticket]
"Cough cough cough - cough cough -"
Weak coughs came intermittently from the side of the backyard. The woman sleeping outside heard the noise and got up. Then the candlelight was lit in the room, dispelling the heavy and cold darkness. As she got closer, she could still hear the patient's faint voice.
Whispering sound.
"Water, water...water..."
The woman said warmly: "Here comes the water."
As she spoke, she carefully lifted the patient up on the bed so that she could tilt her head and sip the warm water. As the liquid flowed through her throat, the burning dryness was temporarily relieved. She moved.
Lips and small mouth changed to large mouth.
After a while, the bowl of warm water bottomed out.
The patient also regained consciousness slightly.
"Dare to ask my benefactor..."
She remembered clearly that she was rescued during the day.
It is the person who is taking care of her now.
"I don't dare to act as a benefactor. After all, the girl helped the slave family out of trouble with a word of kindness, but now she just repays the favor." She carefully put the patient down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and said softly, "Girl in the daytime is seriously ill.
Before I had time to tell you, the slave family had reported the girl’s origin to the parents here. The parent was kind and tolerant, and told her to let the girl rest assured and recover here.”
Hearing that his background was reported, the patient felt nervous, and then he felt a little relieved after hearing the next sentence.
She is also sensible and aware of her identity issues.
"When I recover, I will say goodbye to my master. My master is kind, but I cannot 'repay kindness with enmity' and bring disaster to the family." She was weak and had a serious fever. She said such a long sentence in one breath, and her throat burst out with strong force.
Feeling itchy and coughing again.
Maybe he slept a lot during the day.
No matter how dizzy she was at the moment, she couldn't sleep. Seeing that she couldn't sleep, the woman was also worried that the other party would have to wake up in the middle of the night, so she took the quilt over and slept not far away to take care of her. She took the initiative to stir up the topic: "What's wrong with the girl?"
Will it be here?"
This girl is a noble girl from Xiaocheng.
His father held a high position and held a large number of soldiers.
And her?
Although she came from a branch of a famous family, her father's lineage was in decline, and his father was a man with high ambitions and low abilities. He thought of evil ways when he was not capable. Seeing that his daughter was born well at a young age, he couldn't help but have evil thoughts.
First, he clings to his clan uncle and shamelessly raises her in his family, allowing her to study and read. He also privately hires a teacher who is proficient in dance and music to give her lessons to build her reputation and get her a good marriage. However, things are unpredictable.
Good fortune and misfortune every day.
Patient: "I have no relatives and no reason to beg. I came here begging all the way."
Her voice was hoarse and her tone was calm.
In fact, the hardships endured are beyond the imagination of outsiders.
When the woman heard this, she felt sad.
"What about you? How are you doing after Xiaocheng?"
She had no impression of women at first.
But the woman said "a word of kindness", coupled with the other person's outstanding appearance, finally found fragments in the corner of the memory.
The other party is a dancer who has become famous before she officially takes the stage, and is a beauty that many young people are eagerly waiting for. Although such a famous name has brought her a lot of followers, it has also attracted the attention of those behind these men who have been neglected for many years.
woman resentful.
Among them, a woman from a good family came to the door with a group of servants and guards, threatening to tear her skin to pieces, strip her clothes and throw her into the street for passers-by to watch.
The patient encountered it by chance and stopped it.
Beauty is not the fault of a dancing girl.
The flies that come by the smell are hateful!
The woman smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, my parents are considerate and have treated the slave family well in the past two years. There are no serious officials in the house, so life is much better than before."
The patient said: "This is a blessing in disguise."
The woman was startled for a moment, then sighed: "If tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng can be saved from being massacred, then it's okay not to have this blessing."
Her life was already miserable.
Anything worse would be just like that.
When she was ten years old, she was demoted to a lower class due to her uncle's involvement. The marriage was not considered, and her future husband's family was as afraid of her as a snake or a scorpion, and they were eager to cut off the relationship. They never thought about their old feelings to save her. She had to rely on this
With his good looks, talent, and sweet mouth, he was favored by the boss, and he was regarded as a "curious commodity" that could be lived in. He carefully taught music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and vocal music, especially singing and dancing.
If nothing happens to Xiaocheng...
I'm afraid that at this time, she is already the "number one dancer" pursued by the romantic talents in Sibao County. Is the treatment obtained by serving sex considered an honor? Those literati, from young and aristocratic families, can only say sweet words.
For the sake of a kiss.
Peel off this thin fig leaf...
Naked worldly desires will be revealed.
She is the best when she is young and at the right time. Once Chunhua gets old, her beauty and figure will be destroyed by time, but these celebrities and scholars, young and powerful people from aristocratic families will not. They will pursue the next newcomer who is young and at the right time.
Life is full of unpredictable situations.
Two young women whispered late at night.
When I talk about suffering, tears well up in my eyes.
Boom, boom, boom.
A clear knock on the door sounded in the dark night.
The patient's nerves are tense.
The woman put on her clothes, stood up and looked at the silhouette on the window.
He whispered: "It's a parent, don't worry, girl."
Only then did the patient realize with embarrassment that he was living in his benefactor's room, and the parents of the mansion were outside, so he was the one who was making the scenery worse. The woman got up and opened the door, and as expected, Gong Xiqiu was standing outside the door. However, she was keenly aware of the aura around him.
Shen Shen, this is something she has never seen before after knowing her for such a long time. She wondered in her heart, maybe something bad happened to her parents?
Gong Xiqiu's eyes fell to another place.
The woman realized, closed the door, and followed his footsteps.
"General, you are here late at night. Do you have any important instructions?"
This has never happened.
Even if outsiders assume that the woman is the concubine in Gongxi Qiu's house, even if the man has been stingy and has not given her a title, there is only such a mistress in the house and her status is different. Only women know that the young general is devoted to martial arts and has no regard for men and women.
.
Even if there is, the woman must be able to withstand the beating and not be beaten to death or beat Gong Xiqiu to death in order to meet the criteria for mate selection.
Gong Xiqiu said after a while: "You pack your things in the next two days, and I will send my confidants to send you away from here to a very safe place, where you can live in peace and seclusion, and you will be safe."
The woman was startled: "Send away from here? That general..."
Gong Xiqiu frowned: "There are some private matters that need to be dealt with. No matter whether it is successful or not, the waves it raises can send you to the Palace of Hell to report. I don't want to harm you."
Although the two have no romantic feelings, after getting along for a long time, their sincerity has changed, and Gong Xiqiu has gradually regarded her as a sister. Since they are brother and sister, it is natural for them to find a way out for her.
Women hear the seriousness of the problem.
I wanted to open my mouth and say stay, but I bitterly found that I couldn't carry it with my shoulders or lift it, so staying would be a burden.
"Okay, when the general is here, how can I find you?"
"No need to look for it." Gong Xiqiu said indifferently, "This kind of life mixed with bloodshed is not suitable for you."
The woman's heart ached.
Feeling deeply powerless.
Gong Xiqiu looked at the moonlight: "That's where I grew up, it's my hometown. Maybe you can bring new life to it."
"Can't you, General?"
"You don't understand. I was supposed to die on the day when the clan was exterminated. I went against God's will and prayed to God to let me survive until now. Over the years, without being restrained by the clan's old stick, I have done almost everything that is prohibited by the clan's monument.
, my physical body cannot return to that homeland." Gongxi Qiu said freely: "You don't need to be too sad, just wait for the physical body to be freed, and the wandering soul will return to her embrace under the guidance of God."
Women don’t understand the story behind Gong Xiqiu’s words.
but--
"If my slave is brave, can my parents give me a name?"
Gong Xiqiu looked at her in confusion.
But she still complied with her request.
Speaking of which——
It seems that I have never asked her name.
He pondered for a while.
Said: "How about calling me 'Lai'?"

The woman's name comes from the Analects of Confucius: Those who have gone by cannot be admonished, but those who have come can still be pursued.
The past cannot be undone and discouraged, but there is still time to prevent and fight for the future.
