On this day, I carried a basket and went to the Baihua Slope behind the stream to pick the few bushes of wild celery that I had spotted three days ago. I thought, it should be almost done today. Those few bushes are enough for me to eat for two days.
Oh my god.
As soon as I looked at the green celery, I felt much better. If possible, I really wanted to take it back with the roots, but I also thought that the celery here grows very fast. If I keep the roots, I might be able to survive.
In six or seven days, a big clump has grown again. I am
I was happily picking, but the sky turned gray again. It was already early autumn, and the weather was still cloudy and sunny. I looked at the few celery plants in front of me, thinking that it wouldn’t take too long to finish picking them, and I should still have time to go back. So I hurriedly
Speed. As soon as we finished picking, it started to rain.
I stood up quickly, but I didn't expect that my feet were already numb after standing for a long time. As soon as I stretched them out, I felt unsteady. My feet slipped and I fell into the stream. I finally stood firm, but the basket of celery had been washed far away by the stream.
It was far away. I stood in the water and was depressed for a long time. Finally, I could only sigh helplessly and crawled to the shore.
The stream is not deep, only reaching my waist, but my legs are weak, and the rain is pouring down, making it difficult to open my eyes. After climbing for a long time, I always slip halfway up.
I came down. I thought, after surviving so many things, I didn’t believe I would die in the creek. So I stood in the water for a while, and when I felt that my strength was back, I climbed up with all my strength.
, and it doesn’t matter what looks good or not, what movements work well and what movements are used.
After climbing up, I thought that I wouldn't rush back. Anyway, I was already fished out of the water. Looking at the rain, I thought that if the person who secretly helped me hadn't helped me collect the vegetables, I would have rushed back.
It’s no use. It would be more practical to walk slowly.
Returning to the Morning Palace, I came to the dining room and saw the pile of dried vegetables placed safely on the wooden board as I wished.
I made a fire and boiled water while sneezing. I thought, it would be really troublesome to take a hot bath here. After taking a bath, I felt so tired that I was about to collapse, and my head hurt badly, let alone my appetite.
.I fell directly on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.
I started to dream. One moment it was an iceberg in Antarctica, and the other moment I didn’t know who was dragging me to the Sahara Desert for a barbecue, or maybe it was cannibals who set me on fire and roasted me. I felt like every cell in my body was heating up.
.It seemed like it was about to explode. The world was spinning, and I returned to the cold world.
The pores that were originally exploded shrank violently. It seemed as if they were thrown into the ice sea, and the surroundings were covered with ice. Inside the ice were the four shapes of the Xiao family, a family of hundreds of people. It was the scene of hell on earth in Yanglin Town. It was
Emperor Xuan Tian's terrifying smile was Xiao Shuiqian's ferocious smile, and the child's twisted face...
I struggled and had a splitting headache. But after breaking through one dream, I entered another dream, which was equally gloomy, depressing, and terrifying. Until finally a door appeared in front of me, and I pushed it open with a stagger, and in front of me was the scene I had when I was in college.
There was a corridor with no end in sight. I walked forward with difficulty, opened another door, and walked forward again...
Until I exhausted my last bit of strength. After falling into darkness, I found a light in front of me, a green light. I slowly opened my eyes, and in front of me was a figure. A figure taking care of me. I opened my mouth.
, my mouth was so dry that I couldn't make a sound. A stream of sweet tea poured into my mouth.
"Second brother." I shouted. Suddenly I saw the second brother walking away, and the sadness in my heart suddenly burst out: "Second brother, is it you? You have come to see the fourth sister."
It was already late at night, was that figure under the moonlight my second brother? The shadow paused for a moment and was about to go out. I quickly shouted: "Second brother." I just felt a headache, very painful and dizzy, and everything in the world was...
It's spinning, it seems to be going from a very high place
Falling, there was endless darkness and fear below. I could only stare at the figure of my second brother in front of me. I was afraid that in the blink of an eye, those suffocating pictures would appear again. I started to murmur: "Second brother, don't
Shall we go? The fourth sister is obedient.
You must take the medicine well. When Fourth Sister is well, I will make a sachet for you. Fourth Sister is no longer afraid of the bitterness of the medicine. Second brother, don’t tell your mother that I stole the medicine, and don’t force me to drink it.
I'll treat you to roasted sweet potatoes without your monthly payment. I'll drink the medicine myself.
, I drink it myself... why not pills... I am no longer willful, I drink, don't leave, don't leave Fourth Sister alone, Fourth Sister is really scared... You said you would protect Fourth Sister... Mommy.
I said you are a good second brother, don’t leave...don’t..."
The more I talked, the more dizzy I became, and I held on. Finally, I saw the figure turn around and walk in. I held my hand and whispered: "Second...Second brother is not leaving. Fourth, fourth sister, please have a good rest."
.I'm guarding Fourth Sister, don't...don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'm guarding you..."
I held his hand tightly and felt at ease after hearing his words. I drifted off to sleep. This night was the peace of mind I had not seen for a long time.
When I woke up the next day, my health was actually very good. In fact, I knew that I had a fever yesterday. Who was that figure who seemed to be in a dream but not a dream? Could it be that it was really my second brother who came back to see me. Did he also bring medicine?
After I came here, I would catch a fever and catch a cold whenever I got wet in the rain, and without medicine, it would usually last three or four days. It was impossible for me to get over it in just one night. That would not be my second brother, but I
I still remember that man called himself the second brother. Could it be that the spirit of Lei Feng still existed in ancient times?
With this doubt in mind, I made a random bowl of porridge, ate it, found a basket, went to Luohe Courtyard, and brought back some lotus seeds and lotus roots. I calculated that if I could get back all the lotus seeds and lotus roots from Luohe Pavilion, then
This winter shouldn't be too difficult. At least I won't starve to death.
But misfortune never comes alone. I just fell into the stream yesterday. Today, in order to reach the larger lotus pods in the middle, my center of gravity lost its balance and I was about to fall again. Suddenly, I felt light and was hugged back to a safe area.
.
This man felt very much like the man yesterday. That man was about to leave. I grabbed his arm and shouted out loud: "Second brother!"
The man paused and said hoarsely: "Your Majesty, you have admitted the wrong person."
When I heard it, I understood. He was not my second brother. My second brother would not call me Niangniang, even if he knew it. But I still wanted to know who this person who always covered his face was.
Asked: "Who are you? Why do you want to help me? Also, the person last night was also you, not my second brother?"
The man didn't answer or turn around. I suddenly thought of a person and pulled open his gauntlet. A striking red mole appeared in my sight. He took back his hand and quickly
Wrap the glove again.
"Who are you? First you wanted to kill me, then you helped me, and then you saved me. You probably made the things in the kitchen as well. Can you explain it to me?"
He turned his head, paused, and said quickly: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. I am Ye Ling, and I used to be colleagues with your second brother, Xiao Boyang. Brother Xiao often mentioned your Majesty to us. He said that he must take good care of her.
.Brother Xiao and I met once. The queen is in trouble. If I can help, of course I will try my best. I have some important things to do, so I can’t stay long. Goodbye!" After saying that, he flew away without waiting for my reaction.
Already.
I muttered in my heart for a long time, but this man was still showing off in front of me. I am not as good as him in martial arts, but when it comes to my ability to tell lies with my eyes open, I am definitely better than him. When he said that, his eyes evaded and his hands
He was sweating while holding it, and it rattled twice. And his words were full of loopholes.
My second brother and I are colleagues and we can still get by, so help my second brother take care of me. At the beginning, he pointed a sword at me and wanted to kill me. If he really wanted to help as much as possible, then he would hide it and help me.
What's the point? I filled the rice jar with oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar before I filled it up.
After returning to the Morning Palace, I started peeling off the lotus pods. I was getting really good at peeling them off when I heard a high-pitched voice from outside: "The Emperor has arrived, and the Concubine will pick you up."
I was startled, what was he doing here, to see if I was starving to death? But if I didn't want to cause too much trouble, I'd better go out and salute according to the rules.
I dragged my steps to the gate of the Morning Palace, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Welcome to you, may your emperor live long live."
This sentence is over, I think it’s time for me to get up. Or if you have anything to say, just say it, if you want to scold me, just scold me, and leave as soon as you’re done.
But for a long time, he didn't say a word. There were dozens of people standing here, but they were like air. There was no sound, and it was so oppressive that it was suffocating.
Only the occasional chirping of insects and birds nearby can provide some relief. Sometimes I feel that the people behind him are not as good as the birds here. And I seem to be better than them, because as long as he doesn't come here,
At least in this morning garden, I am still free. But now I am really no better than them, because I feel like my legs are about to break.
"You, raise your head." A majestic voice came from above.
I raised my head firmly and seemed to see those people completely transparent. Through them, I looked into the distance.
Emperor Xuan Tian's eyes flashed and he said: "It seems that you are not having a good life, but do you know that you were wrong, and have you ever regretted it?"
"I'm doing well. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I'm not too scared." I lowered my head and didn't want to look at him anymore. I made up my mind and continued, "It's just that I didn't do anything wrong, and I don't know what I should regret.
What!"
"You, do you think that the fact that the little princess's death was not because of you means that she didn't do anything?" He whispered.
"Your Majesty is wise!" He finally knew that I had nothing to do with the death of the little princess, but from the look on his face, he probably still thinks that I killed his own child. Then it's best to continue to think so and let me stay in this morning garden.
'Repent' and don't bother me again.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?" he asked tentatively.
"Please, Your Majesty, please return the pearl bracelet to me. I am not very grateful." I replied. I could just take back what he gave me. But the bracelet was given to me by my second brother, and I never said I wanted to give it to him.
So now I have more reasons to come back.
"You really don't know what is good and what is evil. I knew that you were too smart to put drugs in the things given to Concubine Jin, but you still harmed my prince because you hated me. I originally wanted to see if you were
I meant to repent, but I didn’t expect that you would still
I am stubborn and stubborn. I have learned a lesson today. Even if a tiger is poisonous, it cannot eat its seeds. You women are really no worse than the enemies on the battlefield. This is a snake and scorpion woman. You all go and atone for your sins here." After that,
He flicked his sleeves and walked away.
I sat on the ground, rubbing my numb legs, and looking calmly at the morning garden that was beginning to come back to life in front of me. It seemed like nothing happened, I just sat down to rest when I was tired.
