Xiu Niang smiled and retracted her hand indifferently.
The rouge that Shen Shiliu bought was smeared on her lips, and her pale and dignified face had a bright color out of thin air, like a flower full of blood.
"I know you've always wondered in your heart. Today we just have a chance, why don't you make it clear - you're really not my own," Xiu Niang said. "Does it make you feel better?"
The corners of Chang Geng's eyes twitched slightly. After all, he was young, and he didn't have a mansion where his emotions and anger were invisible.
In this world, no matter how good a friend is, no matter how dear a teacher is, no one can replace a mother, not even a father. It is not that Chang Geng does not want a mother, but sometimes, if he knows that he is out of reach, he still refuses to accept his fate. , it would be too bitter, and I would feel sorry for myself.
Chang Geng thought countless times in his heart that he could never be Xiu Niang's biological child. Now that he has received such an unsurprising answer, he couldn't feel anything in his heart for a while.
The ominous premonition in Chang Geng's heart gradually grew stronger, and he asked cautiously, "Why are you suddenly telling me this?"
Xiu Niang looked in the mirror and looked at her face. It might be because she had too much powder on her face, and her face was a little pale, so she carefully dug out a little rouge and spread it on her cheeks evenly.
"'Chang Geng' is the nickname I gave you," Xiu Niang said. "The people of the Central Plains say, 'There is Qiming in the east, and Chang Geng in the west', and they only come out at dusk to kill and ominous. The noblest and most foul blood in the world, born a terrifying monster, is no match for this name."
Chang Geng replied coldly, "Didn't I be born to you when you were living in Shanxi, when you were captured by bandits and raped? Ten fingers can't count how many fathers I have - sons of prostitutes and robbers, what is noble? "
Xiu Niang froze for a moment, and did not turn her head. Rouge couldn't hide the paleness on her face. A little pain flashed in her eyes that seemed to be able to talk, but it quickly subsided and turned into a frenzy. in calm.
Chang Geng's earliest memory was in a bandit den on the top of a mountain. Xiu Niang always locked him in a musty cabinet. Through the cracks in the rotten wood, young Chang Geng could always see those bandits who came in drunk. .
Those rude men either beat her or had sex with her in front of Xiao Chang Geng.
In the beginning, the bandits took care of Xiuniang very strictly, but gradually, seeing that she was weak and bullying, and didn't know how to resist, they relaxed, and later they even let her out and let her serve them like the servants in the cottage. Xiu Niang was full of poison in the well and hundreds of jars of wine, and God didn't know where she got so much poison.
She put a bowl of poisonous well water in a small bowl for Chang Geng to drink, but when he actually drank it, she seemed to regret it and dug his throat desperately to make him vomit.
Xiu Niang put the half-dead Chang Geng in a small bamboo basket and carried it on her back, holding a steel knife in her hand. Seeing if anyone died, she stepped forward to make a knife.
Chang Geng remembered that that day, she was wearing a red dress stained with blood, splashed the kerosene and the purple gold that the bandit leader had hidden all over the mountain, set the entire mountain on fire, and left with herself.
In his short life of more than ten years, Xiu Niang wanted to kill him countless times, poured him poisonous wine, stabbed him with a knife, tied him to a horse and dragged him, and even dreamed back countless times in the middle of the night, her emotions suddenly lost control , and tried to suffocate him with the quilt
But every time, he was reined in and left him a small life.
It also left him with a line of unrealistic fantasies.
Chang Geng said as calmly as possible: "You think too much, I have never regarded you as a biological mother, but I have always felt that the reason why you hate me is because I am the dirt left to you by the bandit den."
Xiu Niang sat blankly in front of the mirror, her face getting paler and paler, and after a long time, she suddenly sighed, "My child, I'm sorry for you."
The moment he said these words, the ten thousand guards and resentment in Chang Geng's heart almost collapsed. He realized that the grievances he had suffered from childhood to adulthood could be easily resolved with these words.
However, the fourteen-year-old boy used all his strength to hold back the tears, and then asked wearily: "What are you going to tell me about this now? The conscience found, should I detoxify me, or just kill me? "
Xiu Niang looked at him with a strange look, as if the boy was some kind of precious utensil: "You know"
Chang Geng: "Of course I know that since the day I settled in Yanhui Town, I have not had nightmares all night. Even if I take a nap during the day, I will wake up from the nightmare."
Except for the night before - Chang Geng's thoughts were scattered in an instant, and he suddenly regretted the matter of being angry with Shi Shi.
Chang Geng: "I think I have nothing to do when I grow up to be this big, but I haven't done a few bad things. How can there be so many ghosts knocking on my door? Is there still a strange disease of nightmares every night in the world?"
The corners of Xiu Niang's bright red mouth showed a strange smile, her eyes slowly fell on the iron wrist buckle exposed on Chang Geng's wrist, there was a sharp light in her eyes, like a pair of poisonous arrows with black heads hidden: "You What else do you know?"
Chang Geng subconsciously retracted the iron wrist buckle into his sleeve, only to feel that the thing was tainted by her glance.
"I also know that two years ago outside the gate, the wolves that were chasing me didn't come here by themselves, they were summoned by someone - you are warning me that I can't run away, you have a way to kill me, right?" Chang Geng said quietly, "Only the barbarians know how to manipulate those beasts. After you arrived in Yanhui Town, you have been in touch with those barbarians. I guess you are also a barbarian woman. When I was a child, you locked me in a cabinet. A man came in and ripped your clothes, and you had a wolf's head on your chest."
Xiu Niang laughed lowly: "Barbarians, you actually called us barbarians"
She laughed louder and louder, almost out of breath by the end.
Suddenly, Xiu Niang's sharp laughter came to an abrupt end, she covered her chest and coughed violently, Chang Geng raised his hand, as if he wanted to help her, and then he reacted by himself, shrinking his hand like a twitch. He went back and pinched the knuckles of his fingers.
A thin trace of blood flowed out from between Xiu Niang's fingers and landed on the pale yellow skirt, with a shocking purple-black color.
Chang Geng was taken aback and took a step forward: "You"
- ^ .
Xiu Niang grabbed his arm and tried her best to straighten her waist, shaking like a dead leaf in the cold wind. She took a few breaths and took out half a pair of jade pendants from under the makeup box. The bloodstains were stuffed into Chang Geng's hands together.
Her face was snow-white, her blood-stained lips were more dazzling than rouge, and her bloodshot eyes stared at Chang Geng: "I'm not called Xiuniang, that's your Central Plains woman's name, my name is Hu Geer, which means The Purple Flowing Gold of the Heart of the Earth"
She was choked by her own words, and after another piercing cough, she spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained Chang Geng's front.
"Ominous Zi Liujin." The woman had a strange cry, her breathing became faster and faster, and her chest was like a broken bellows, "My sister is a woman of longevity, and the wolf will kneel to worship, you "
"You are the little monster I raised," she laughed angrily, "no one loves you, no one treats you sincerely"
She struggled to grab Chang Geng's wrist, her sharp nails pierced into his flesh, and grabbed the iron wrist buckle on the boy's hand: "This is the Xuan Tie Light Armor Cloud Pan wrist buckle - this is from Xuan Tie Ying. Made for niggas, who gave it to you? Huh?"
As if being burned, Chang Geng pushed her away fiercely.
The woman fell on the dressing table, curled up and twitched, her charming phoenix eyes widened, revealing the hideous whites of her eyes.
"You have the 'Ur bone' that I put down on you. I named it in Chinese, and it's also called 'Chang Geng'. Does it sound good?" Her cheeks twitched violently, and the foam on the corners of her mouth was inseparable from the blood. When it came out, the voice became blurred, but it didn't prevent Chang Geng from hearing clearly, "The unparalleled Ur bone, no one can detect it, no one will understand it. One day, you will grow into the most powerful warrior in the world. You'll start to have trouble distinguishing between nightmares and reality and you'll turn into a powerful lunatic—"
Chang Geng stayed on the spot, feeling that the words that he could not understand drifted past his ears, and the cracks in his bones were easily filled with ice slag.
"The blood of the woman also flows in my chest. I will bless you with the infinite power of my immortality. You and you will end your life with only hatred and doubt in your heart, and you will be tyrannical and murderous. Wherever you go, there will be bloody storms. You are destined to pull them. Everyone has to be good together"
The word "death" staggered and slipped out of her throat, and the woman's body twitched violently, and then she suddenly felt something, turned her head slowly, and looked at the small sachet hanging from the bed curtain. Inside is a peace talisman, which Xu Baihu asked for her from a temple outside the city when he was returning home from duty.
The woman's eyelashes twitched slightly, and suddenly they seemed to be full of tears, and the tears washed her sinister gaze into a very gentle, but unfortunately this gentleness only lasted for a moment.
Her shriveled pupils finally blew the lamp and pulled out the wax, and spread out in a lifeless manner. The woman in full dress stopped abruptly from the most vicious curse in the world, and then fell down heavily with the final residual warmth.
No one loves you, and no one treats you with sincerity. At the end of your life, you will only have hatred and doubt in your heart, and you will be brutalized and murdered. Everywhere you go is bloody and bloody, and you are destined to pull them all together.
In the deadly night of Huo Xia in the late summer, Chang Geng stared blankly at the dressed corpse on the dressing table, blankly grasping the blood-stained iron wrist buckle.
Why did she kill herself
Why does she hate him so much? Why did you keep him so big
What happened to the iron wrist buckle in Xuantieying
Who is Shen Shiliu
Xiu Niang's curse seems to have exerted its force. A child, the first trust and closeness to the world came from the parents who raised him without reservation, and Chang Geng never got it.
No matter how generous and benevolent he is by nature, he is forced to be suspicious and vigilant in his heart from time to time, and he will still be like a bereaved wild dog with its tail tucked. refusal.
A strong thought suddenly appeared in Chang Geng's heart - he was going to find Shen Shiliu, and he had to ask in person who this foster father was and what his motives were.
However, he finally did not walk out of the embroidery room full of blood. As soon as he walked out of the door, he was already timid.
"By the way," Chang Geng thought blankly, "How can Mr. Shen be a desolate scholar who can't pass the test for a long time because of his knowledge and talents that he reveals by chance?"
Although Shen Shiliu is idle, he has the bearing of a son of an aristocratic family.
He should have known these things long ago, but when he closed his eyes, he always remembered Shen Shiliu holding his head and guarding him in front of the hospital bed.
If that's also hypocrisy—
As soon as the door opened, the old cook who was poking her head hurriedly approached with a smiling face: "Master, today"
Chang Geng looked at her with red eyes.
The old cook was frightened by his eyes, and it took a while to recover, rubbing her chest and complaining, "What is this for?"
Without saying a word, she saw the scene in the room clearly.
The old cook froze, then she staggered back three steps, sat down on the ground, raised her neck, and let out a shrill scream that didn't sound like a human voice.
At the same time, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded in the city.
I don't know who released the alarm whistle in the tower. The long whistle more than two feet high rolled in the white air dyed by Zi Liujin, and rushed into the sky with a "woo". It broke the bleak tranquility of Yan Huicheng for fourteen years.
Shen Yi, who was burying his head in arranging the steel armor, raised his head. The next moment, the door of Shen's house was kicked open from the outside, and Shen Yi picked up the heavy sword from the ground that was unloaded from the steel armor.
"It's me." Shen Shiliu said in a low voice.
Shen Yi said solemnly, "Have the barbarians made their move in advance?"
This sentence was asked in a short and low tone, but Shen Shiliu, who was half-deaf, heard every word: "The giant kite has a barbarian's meticulous work, and the ship that came back is not hiding our people."
As Shen Shiliu spoke, he rushed into the inner room non-stop, raised his palms beside the bed and slashed.
A set of dark iron armor was displayed under the wooden board.
Shen Shiliu's hand deftly pried open the hidden grid on the chest of the steel armor, and took out a black iron token from it, his fingers turned blue in the reflection of Sen Leng's black iron token. He turned around abruptly, the muddy waist that was always not straight was not like an iron gun, and the wind blowing outside the wide open door lifted his light and plain blue shirt, as if intimidated by the coldness of his body With murderous intent, he brushed past him.
Sixteen: "Ji Ping."
"Ji Ping" is Shen Yi's word and has never been called in front of outsiders. The two usually bickered and quarreled about a little housework, and they kissed like real brothers. At this time, Shen Yi took a step back and knelt on the ground nimbly: "This subordinate is here."
"Since they came early, we just took advantage of the chaos to close the net - I have entrusted the Fourth Highness to you, and I will send him out of the city first."
Shen Yi: "Yes".
Shen Shiliu quickly took off his coat and a sword by the bed, turned around and left.
