The Governor is Sick - Chapter 95
Picking a lantern at night, the light red lotus light illuminates the square inch field under your feet. Xia Houyi and Shen Zheng walked aimlessly, somehow they embarked on a narrow stone road with earth walls on both sides, and dustpan bamboo poles piled along the way. . Shen Yan wore a power fence and couldn’t see the road clearly. She wanted to take it off and she was afraid to be seen. The factory supervisor toured the night market, and soon there would be crowds of people watching. After walking carefully for half a stubble, stepping on a dustpan, Xia Houzhen held his arm.
“I’ll take you away.” Xia Houyi said, sliding his hand to his wrist and holding him away.
The two kept walking in the dark, speechless all the way. Xia Houzhen didn’t say anything since he connected with Tang Shixi, and sometimes he smiled to explain the roadside gadgets or something for him, but he still saw that the heart in Xia Houyi’s eyes was absent. In the end it is an old man, how can love be broken? He sighed in his heart, but this time he still did n’t think about it well. Xia Houyi grew up in Gala, so how much he paid, this thing should not have Xia Houyi intervened.
He shrank his hand, and Xia Houyi’s hand slid down and fell into his palm. He noticed that Xia Houyi’s hand was stiff for a moment, but he didn’t break away and let him pull it. Xia Houyi’s hand holds the knife all year round, rough, like sandpaper for sharpening. They went deeper and deeper, and the people gradually disappeared. The factory guard who followed them was far behind, and there were only two of them in the silent path. He still didn’t let go of Xia Houyi’s hand, neither did Xia Houyi release him, so the two walked slowly.
In the silence, Shen Xuan suddenly said, “Let’s transfer the matter of Galan to another stall.”
“No!”
Xia Hou stopped walking and turned around. Shen Xun didn’t stop. She bumped into Xia Hou Xuan. Xia Hou Xuan pushed back a bit and couldn’t help but support Shen Xuan’s waist. In his hand, he was holding the lantern of the lantern, which touched Shen’s waist, and the lantern was shaking under the pole, the dim light leaped on their faces, separated by a thin layer of black gauze, Each sees each other’s eyes.
Xia Houxi beat a beat in his heart, and took a step back, pretending to calmly ask, “Isn’t it hurt?”
Shen Yan subconsciously wanted to say no, and then turned a corner around his mouth, and said, “It hurts.”
“Ah? What hurts?” Xia Houzhen looked down at his arms and body. He wore thick clothes in the winter, and then he didn’t hit hard at that moment. Why did he hurt?
Shen Yan was too late to think, and he just slammed a “leg pain” and regretted saying that he didn’t hit his leg wherever he bumped into it. He knew that he was talking nonsense.
Xia Hou smiled, “Are you tired of walking? Then take a break.”
Shen Yan nodded. Xia Houyi put the lamp on the ground and squatted down to help him rub his legs. He looked down at Xia Houyi’s head and said, “Leave it to someone else to do it, it is good for you and Dongchang.”
“Are you afraid that my heart is soft and wrong, master?”
“I’m afraid you’re upset.”
“I have to face some things,” Xia Houyi stood up and said, “I can’t escape, I can’t escape, I don’t want to hide, I don’t want to escape.”
“Do you have to torture yourself?” Shen Min still disapproved.
“Master, please,” Xia Houyi looked at him and said, “I want to make a personal decision about Garan.”
Shen Ye also watched him silent, and finally sighed, saying, “If your younger brother is willing to surrender, let him enter the East Factory. However, if he insists on not complying …”
“It’s up to me,” Xia Hou said, her hands under the sleeves of the arrows slowly clenched, as if she had exhausted all her power before she could say, “Kill him with your own hands.”
————
The moonlight tonight was white and cold, and the snow was reflecting the clear light, reflected on the large face of Bailifang. She was as white as a porcelain doll. She smiled, but clearly had a sad taste. Looking down at her with disgust, after a while, she said seriously, “Do you have any wish, Baili?”
“desire?”
“Well, I can help you.”
“What if my wish is for you to be buried?” Bai Lijie whispered softly. “Will you also help me to achieve it?”
Hesitated and hesitated.
Bai Lijie clenched her fists, her eyes gradually became ruthless, and she whispered, “Sure enough … it’s all deceiving!”
“I can take your ashes with me,” Suddenly said abruptly, taking a purse out of his arms, pouring out the only three copper plates in it, and putting them on the windowsill to show Bai Lijie, “use this Installed. “
It was a very old purse. It was originally a blue color. After a long time, the color faded into a light blue. Bai Liyu’s eyes dissipated a little bit and asked, “Why use this?”
“This was sewed to me by my brother,” Chi said. “He didn’t give me much, but he lost some, and only this purse was left.”
Bai Liyu stared at the purse. She always knew that she was so tired of her twin brother. She didn’t want her ashes to fit in the purse sewn by that person. She was so angry that she turned around and stabbed the big tree a few feet, and her stomach hurt even more. She felt the blood dripping down her thigh.
She paused for a few moments, and turned her head and said loudly, “Are you an idiot! How could such a small purse hold my ashes!”
I was bored for a moment.
Bai Liyu wanted to leave. She felt very weak now. When she went out, she forgot to wear a scarf. The cold wind poured into her collar. She got cold from the outside, and her stomach was getting more and more painful. She felt herself standing. Can’t stop it. A man with disheveled clothes appeared in the front corner. He came out to show respect, and instantly saw Bai Liyu, Bai Shengsheng’s face, petite appearance, his heart fluttered, and his eyes came running brightly.
Bai Liyu frowned in disgust, reached into her arms, and held the dagger hidden in her waist.
“Get off, what do you want to do!” Ah Chu didn’t know where she came from, and held a broom to hit the man’s face vigorously. This woman was fiercely like a yaksha, and her original enchanting makeup was sharp.
The man screamed and ran away. Ah Chu threw the broom and ran to Bai Lijie in her skirt. She said, “You child, don’t you tell me not to run to the front?”
Bai Liyu opened her heavy eyes to see that she was not talking. She glanced to the side and squatted on the window sill and held her. He probably just wanted to jump down and stop the hooligan. Both were stupid. She sighed, took Bai Lijie’s hand to take her away, and suddenly saw the blood on the snow, and was surprised: “Who’s blood?”
Bai Lijie said, “Mine.”
Perseverance also refers to her, “her.”
Ah Chu grabbed Bailiyu’s shoulder and asked panic, “What’s wrong with you? What hurt?”
“My stomach hurts,” said Bai Lijie, “I seem to be poisoned.”
Ah Chu froze and asked, “Stomach hurts? Is it bleeding from the thigh?”
Baili Kite nodded.
“Has it flowed before?”
Baili kite shook her head.
A Chu understood and sighed again. Suddenly she knew what it felt like to bring a child. Looking down at Baili Kite, the girl was sick, like a piece of paper fish out of the water. She was pale, weak and weak. She took her hand and walked to the backyard, not forgetting to tell the disgust, “Go and cook a bowl of brown sugar water.”
“Can brown sugar water detoxify me?” Bai Lijie asked.
Ah Chu breathed a smile, “Yes, yes, not only can you detoxify, but you can also beautify your face.”
A Chu took her back to her house, burned the charcoal cage in the house, and then took out the moon belt from the stand. Baili kite picked up the moon band, which was a long red strip of cloth, embroidered with big red peony flowers, lined with cotton, and felt soft. Slim white cloth strips were worn on both ends, and I didn’t know what to do with it.
Ah Chu taught her how to use it, and taught her everything about Tiankui. The Baili kite listened intelligibly, A Chu helped her to tie a strap, her arms were caged around her, and a faint scent of rouge came over, covering her if nothing happened. She wondered absently, where did she smell it, as if there were many places, the women in the brothel in Red House always loved the smell of this powder. Ah Chu handed her a stove to warm her stomach. Holding the stove, she suddenly felt that she would not die, but she was a little shy, as if she should have died.
Her cotton pants were dirty, and A Chu asked her to sit on the carved bed and wrap her with a quilt. The quilt is also red. She knows that brothels like to use big red quilts, so that men and prostitutes go to bed just like entering a cave house, and there is a false joy.
Ah Chu also got into the bed, holding her knees and asking her, “You child, you don’t even know Tiankui. Didn’t your mother teach you?”
“No,” Bai Lijie looked down at the ** flower on the blanket, “my mother has never spoken to me.”
Ah Chu asked in confusion: “Why?”
Baili Xie said: “When I was a kid, a fortune teller came to my house and said that I was a miser, and I would kill my parents in the future. My father and mother were afraid and sent me to live in a nun in the mountain. Fortune teller said that Buddhism can calm me and keep me from being a demon. “
“Do you believe what the fortune teller said? When I was a kid, an old blind man said that I would be a queen in the future!” A Chu looked at Bai Lijie, and asked carefully, “Then you have always lived in Li?”
“Well. That place is very cold, it snows every day, there is nothing, only one kind of red flower grows. There are only two or three old aunts in the village, and they are panting while walking. I can only play by myself. I Sometimes they make snowmen, give them names, and pretend they are my good friends. “
“Have you never been home again?” A Chu asked her.
Baili kite said: “Have it back. When the New Year is coming, my father will send someone to pick me up to my house. The old aunt told me that I have a lot of brothers and sisters. Please treat them well before they let me stay at home. I I went to the snow and caught a snow fox. The snow fox was very difficult to catch. I set a lot of traps in the snow. I got one because my fingers were rotten. I brought it in a cage and brought them to them. At first they were very happy, but the five sisters were naughty, put their hands into the cage and was bitten by Xuehu. My father and mother said that I was unlucky. When I came back, I hurt my sister and killed Xuehu. “
“What’s the matter, she stretched out her hand, what mattered to you!” Ah Chu was flushed with anger at her.
“Later, I made glutinous rice dumplings for them to eat, and they didn’t want to, and said that evil spirits made things, and they will get sick. In fact, glutinous rice dumplings are very delicious. I eat my own made and have never been sick.” Bai Li Li put her chin on her knee and slowly said, “The second sister came home when I was nine years old and asked me to be pitiful. They invited me to play with them. They climbed up the rocky hill, and I was afraid to wait for them below. Brother Nine was hit by my second sister and fell to my feet and died. The second sister was afraid of my father and mother’s punishment and pushed the crime on me. I said it wasn’t me who did it, it was the second sister’s who didn’t believe me. I I begged other brothers and sisters to testify for me, and no one ignored me. They all saw it, but no one testified for me. Since then, my parents have never let me go home. “
A Chu listened to her heart, and Bai Lijie looked indifferent, and continued: “Later I realized that the second sister is their sister, I am not, I am a ghost, and ghosts have no brothers and sisters, so they do not testify for me. .In fact, my father and mother should kill me. If you don’t like it, kill it. Why do you keep my life? “Bai Lijie raised her face and smiled,” Sister A Chu, you said right?”
“Well! What stupid thing is wrong! They are wrong, and you don’t blame you. Brothers and sisters are young and sensible, so there is no such father and mother in the world!” Ah Chu pushed her into her arms, ” Our kitty is the best. She is beautiful and has a good heart. She will also catch foxes and make glutinous rice dumplings. A kitty, will you make glutinous rice dumplings for my sister? “
Baili kite was suffocated, her nose was full of rouge, she wanted to earn it, and A Chu refused to let her move. She had no choice but to say yes. A Chu laughed and let her out, shaved her nose, and asked, “What about you and Xiahou? Isn’t he your brother?”
Bai Lijie shook her head and said no, “My brother picked it up in the snow. When he was born, his mother did not want him. His father made him a slave, and he was like me, so I recognized him as my brother.”
A Chu gently touched her cheek, her porcelain white face seemed to be broken in the palm of her hand, A Chu smiled slightly, there was a soft light in her eyes, “In fact, my sister has no family. I When I was very young, my dad offended the then-inspector-in-chief, Weide, and his family was copied by the East Factory. I do n’t even remember the appearance of my father and mother, just remembering those fierce Dongchang fans. Mind, you can recognize me as my sister. “
Bai Liyu didn’t agree, but said, “But I’m a badass, you won’t like me.”
A Chu patted her palm gently and said, “It’s a coincidence! I’m also a bad guy!”
A hundred miles of kite flew.
“When I was your age, I drilled other people’s dog holes every day and climbed trees to steal other people’s dates.” A Chu smiled.
Bai Liyu was silent for a long time and did not speak. A Chu was a little embarrassed, and then she regretted that she didn’t cover her mouth. A Jie was so richly dressed. At first glance, she was a rich girl’s daughter. How could she recognize her as an elder sister who could not be redeemed? But she has always been like this, thinking of what to say. My mother said she many times and she just couldn’t change it. She squeezed her fingers and was busy looking for the steps for herself. “Ah … that’s just a joke …”
“Sister.” Bai Liyu suddenly said.
Ah Chu stayed for a moment.
“Sister,” Bai Lijie lay down and slept in her arms. “Don’t you say I can recognize you as my sister, now I agree, you will be my sister in the future.”
Ah Chu seemed to be knocked in her heart, and tears fell down her cheeks, and she wiped the tears on her face with a loud “um”. Sit for a while, and get out of bed with my bare feet, rushing out of the door, air: “What’s going on in this summer? It takes so long to cook brown sugar water!”
Opening the door and holding on just outside the door, both were startled. A Chu rushed him in, and he was tired of bringing the brown sugar water to the table, and then brought the table to the front of Baili kite. Ah Chu is complaining that the charcoal is not warm enough, she wants to get tired to get the snow charcoal from the kitchen. Perseverance went according to words, returned with a dustpan, and added charcoal to the charcoal cage.
Sitting on the bed, Baili kite explored the brown sugar water with silver tincture, and it was not poisonous. She turned to look at the two people sitting outside in front of the charcoal and grilled, A Chu said something. The woman had a very noisy mouth and could never stop. I said for a few days that the old lady was very good to her these days, and did not force her to pick up the guests. Then she said that the man did not have a good thing.
I was tired of baking the wet placket, but I didn’t listen at first glance. Bai Lijie drank all the brown sugar water, and her belly was warm. She lay down, wrapped her body in Ah Chu’s big red cotton quilt, her eyes still looked outward, Ah Chu was removing her makeup, and now she could only see that she was tired.
He changed his face with grease powder, not the original look, but his brow did not change. He actually has a pair of sharp eyebrows, but he has a stupid look, and he always looks honest, as if anyone can bully him. So the suffocation in the eyebrows disappeared, leaving only the tranquil Enron.
They actually met very early. When she was an ordinary little girl, looking forward to going home for the New Year soon, she saw him in that big house. She was sleeping alone in a room without a coal fire, and the niece and old mother were betting money and hanging horses in the next room. She trembled while listening to their drunken laughter. She remembered being wrapped in a quilt like this, but at that time the quilt was very hard, cold like an iron, and it could not hold a little warmth when it was tightly clasped. She had no choice but to embrace her knees as she counted the sheep looking forward to falling asleep as soon as she fell asleep.
In the midst of ambiguity, she heard a snoring sound, melodious, like the wind in the night sky. She was awake all of a sudden, and the snoring kept floating, and she could no longer sleep. She looked at the top of the dark bed for a long time, and quietly got up from the bed, only wearing a single coat, and went barefoot to the ground. She first crawled on the ground and listened to the wall for a while. She was sure that the mothers and slaves next door would not come to see her suddenly.
The snoring wafted in the quiet night sky, like the snowflakes of North Shuo, but also cold and silent. She listened, and felt that her heart was empty, like a worn-out skin bag, which could be filled with many winds. She walked barefoot in the cloister and followed the gurgling noises, her feet were freezing cold, and the cloister under the moonlight was silvery white, twisting out and out. She stepped on the hard ground, feeling the gurgling snoring sound like to take her to a place where the ghost inhabited.
She finally found the cricket in the garden-it was a young man, who seemed to be between the youth and the teenager, and wore a gray-white cloak on her body. I didn’t know whether the color was washed or faded. He sat on the edge of the pond, blowing the moonlight, and the moonlight was on his shoulders. He was like a ghost that came with the moonlight. It seemed that at dawn, he would evaporate with the moonlight.
She crouched behind the pillar and rubbed her hands while listening to him blowing. She suspected that this was a dream, and she did not dare to move or speak up, for fear of making a noise, the blowing ghost would drift away. The ethereal snoring sound spread like a clear moonlight in the blue-white garden, covering her whole body, and she herself became a cyan silhouette in the moonlight, a small ball, like a beast. She listened silently and wholeheartedly, and the cold snoring took her thoughts into a small snorkel, flying high and far away. She burst into tears, tears dripping down her cheeks.
She thought she had met someone like her, who was just as lonely.
