The sound of wind and rain was silent outside the door after the third watch.
After drinking the spicy ginger soup, my stomach felt warm, and my body began to regain consciousness as if a warm current had passed over me. The charcoal fire in the room was bright red, emitting a steady stream of heat. I put on a painted shawl, and my hair was slightly damp, shoulder to shoulder.
I sat next to my fourth brother, who was holding a cloak baked for me.
"Fourth brother." With a sweet voice, she tilted her head and leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly: "Thank you, brother." I wanted a brother very much when I was a child, and even stupidly cried and begged my mother to give me a brother.
I have a brother to help me play with the neighborhood kids. When I’m tired from walking, I can have fun on my brother’s back. At school, I have a brother to protect me. In short, I want a brother to clean up my mess, tolerate me, take care of me, and let me bully me.
.
"You!" Fourth brother pinched my nose. Seeing me like this and thinking about the basket I poked, he got angry and laughed. He pointed to Huangfu Hao lying on the bed and said, "What should he do?"
He looked at Huangfu Hao, who was about to be pricked into a hornet's nest. He endured the pain in his legs and limped close to him. He tried to breathe, opened his clothes and looked at the injuries, and said: "Brother, if you save me, why don't you follow him too?"
He's rescued! Fortunately, his injury is not very deep. As long as he is careful to prevent infection, he should be fine. Brother, come and help!" I tried hard to turn Huangfu Hao, but I couldn't use my legs at all, and it hurt terribly.
"Help me take off his clothes." He gently lifted up his clothes. The scars were scabbed and adhered to his clothes. When he was moved, he groaned.
"No! You, a virgin girl, wore men's clothes, entered a brothel, and caused trouble. These brothers have recognized it. If you want to offend, why don't you mess with the Huangfu family? Now you have to take off your men's clothes. You don't want to get married.
It's gone!" The fourth brother clapped his hands, half complaining and half cursing.
"Brother, who asked you to rescue this person! Since we have rescued him, we must save him to the end! Do you know who he is? Huangfu Hao should know! He was the one who was assassinated at Moulin Rouge today!" It was difficult to endure the pain.
But in vain, he tried to turn Huangfu Hao over and take off his clothes. The wound hurt, and he let out a soft cry, lowered his head and sobbed.
"Zipei, oh, get out of the way, I'll do it!" Fourth brother held my shoulders distressedly and let me leave. He glanced at Huangfu Hao, rolled up his sleeves, picked him up and took off his clothes.
"Do you still have the wine and cotton?" He stepped forward to check the injury carefully.
"There are all the trauma medicines." The fourth brother pointed to the small medicine bottle beside the basin and said with disapproval: "I will report to the officials immediately and ask them to take him away."
"Fourth brother! You are stupid! It happened in your place, and the person is in your place, so don't arrest him. Even jumping into the Yellow River can't wash away your crime! Besides, one more thing is worse than one less thing." He poked his hand. When he saw that he was unconscious, he said, "Take him out of the city tomorrow and throw him away. Life or death will be decided by fate."
Creak.
The door opened, and Mannia stood outside the door and poked her head out and called out to her fourth brother. Her trembling voice expressed the owner's uneasiness. She definitely had reason to be uneasy. At this time, the Moulin Rouge was surrounded by officers and soldiers, and they were marching one by one.
Search. Even if you hold your breath and listen, you can hear the sound of soldiers marching behind the small courtyard.
The fourth brother said that the emperor had returned to the palace. The specific situation was unknown, but the business of the Moulin Rouge could not be carried out. There were still officers and soldiers searching in the Jinjiang River, wanting to see people alive and bodies dead, so he asked with a guilty conscience.
, are you also looking for me?
The fourth brother sighed and just said he didn't know.
The fourth brother glanced at me, pinched my cheek gently, and said lovingly: "Girl, my brother is supporting me here, just be careful."
He nodded with wet eyes and hugged his fourth brother, reluctant to let him go.
After the fourth brother left, I turned down the oil lamp, brought it close to the bedside, cleaned Huangfu Hao's wounds and carefully applied medicine to him.
"Who!" In a coma, he grabbed my hand vigilantly, as guarded as a hedgehog.
"The person who saved you." Try to keep your voice as low as possible and whisper in his ear: "If you want to save your life, shut up!"
"It's you... Yun..." He smiled weakly, and instead of letting go, his hand tightened. I struggled slightly, but I was afraid of tearing the wound, so I just gave up and held my waist and sat next to him.
.
"I don't know what you mean!" He rolled his eyes, looked at him again, and fell into coma again, but his hand was still holding on tightly.
Bump! The door was kicked open.
I heard Fourth Brother’s nervous explanation and Mannia’s coquettish words. Looking at the blood-stained clothes on the ground, I quickly packed them up, threw them on the bed, put down the curtains, and covered them up.
My heart was beating wildly. I saw the trauma medicine bottle and quickly jumped to get it. I didn't want to tilt my body and knock over the basin!
"who is it!"
I screamed in my heart, it's over! It's over! My head is really about to move.
The door was opened, and a tall black figure stood in front of the door. The candlelight stretched his shadow very long. The shadow on the ground held a knife in his hand, and it happened to be clamped around my neck. It felt cool.
There is no strength in the whole body.
You really should have swept the snow in front of your own door and not bothered about the frost on other people's tiles.
