He wanted to wake up the girl next to him, but his mouth felt dry. He spat and came out with some yellow sticky stuff.
What is this sticky stuff
He wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and there was a smear of something red, and...
He coughed violently. Could it be that this little girl had fed him shit
Yi'er was awakened by his cough and rubbed her eyes. "Ah, you're alive?"
King Liang stared at her, "What did you give me to eat?"
Yier sat up, she was too tired and didn't get enough sleep, her eyelids were tripled, "You took the detox, you took everything, you took everything that could be stuffed into you, I thought you would die."
"Can't you run out and ask for help?" King Liang was really angry. His men were not far away outside, but he had ordered that if she didn't come out himself, they were not allowed to disturb her. As long as she ran out, his men would definitely be alarmed.
"That won't work. If I leave you here, what if you get bit by a snake again?"
She looked at the sky and said nervously, "I have to go. If I don't go back so late, my mother will be angry."
King Liang saw her packing up some things, and there were a few clay figurines that had already been shaped. He asked curiously, "Can you make clay figurines?"
"Yes, I sell clay figurines. I'm doing business." Yi'er said.
"Selling clay figurines is also a business?" King Liang didn't know why, but when he looked at her serious face, he wanted to laugh.
"Everything that can make money is business." She wrapped it carefully and put it in the basket. "Come with me. The fire will soon go out. If there is no light, ghosts will come."
"Ghost?" King Liang laughed, "Do you believe in ghosts?"
"Who knows? My mother told me."
"what's your name?"
"Yier, what's your name?" Yier put the basket on her back and reached out to pull him.
King Liang stood up with the help of her arm, but did not walk, as he did not want her to see that he was a cripple.
"Can you leave? Is the poison cleared?" Yi'er asked.
"I'll go by myself, you go first." King Liang said lightly.
"Let's go together. It's late at night and you're so weak. If you run into any bad guys, at least I'll protect you."
However, her voice gradually became lower and lower. She was hungry and had no strength left.
There was a rumbling sound in her stomach. She supported King Liang and sighed, "I have never tried not having dinner. I ate half of the only pancake for you and a candied haws for you. We have to go back quickly, otherwise I will faint from hunger."
"Was that a pancake in my mouth just now?"
“And candied haws.”
"oh!"
“And mud.”
"… "
"And reeds!"
"this… "
"There are also ducktail grass, stinkweed, thunder god vine, sour milfoil leaves, dandelion flowers..."
"enough!"
King Liang growled, "Turn the page!"
He didn't want anyone to know what he had eaten in order to understand the venom of the little snake.
After being yelled at by him, Yi'er actually shut up obediently.
King Liang felt that this was a bit unfair to his savior. Seeing that she lowered her head and seemed to be aggrieved, he cleared his throat and wanted to say something to ease the situation.
Yi Er smiled at him first, "When you yelled at me just now, I thought my mother was here. I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak."
"Is your mother very vicious?" King Liang knew that many people favored boys over girls and always wanted to take advantage of girls.
"Fierce, my mother is really fierce." Yi'er shrank her neck. "I will definitely be scolded to death when I go back tonight. She doesn't allow me to come out so late. If I don't admit my mistake tonight and satisfy her, I won't be able to do business in the market anymore."
"Then don't go into business. It's not good for a girl to show her face in public."
"That won't work. If I don't do business, I won't have money to buy food. My mother said that I'm a loser and it takes a lot of food to feed me. So I use the money I earn from business to buy food."
"Don't your mother feed you enough?" King Liang was furious. How could he have such shameless parents
"I'm not full. My mother said I'd die if I ate too much."
"People will die if they are hungry. If you don't believe your mother in the future, which market do you do business in? I will bring you food every day."
King Liang suddenly felt a sense of righteousness in his heart. After all, the man was his savior, and he couldn't let him starve.
"I'm under the banyan tree on North Street." Yi'er blinked her big eyes, her dimples filled with smiles.
Anyone who gives you delicious food is a good person.
"What's your name? You haven't even told me yet?"
King Liang was silent for a moment, "My name is Datou."
"Big head?" Yi'er glanced at him sideways, then raised the lantern to shine it over and smiled, "Your head is really big, but you look good."
"I am a lame man, can't you see?" King Liang blurted out.
After saying it, he himself felt surprised. This was something he was always ashamed to say, and he would get angry even if someone else said it.
However, tonight he actually told this to a strange girl, and he didn't feel any shame or embarrassment when he said it.
Yi'er said, "What's the big deal about being lame? My mother said I was dying."
"Your mother lied to you." King Liang rolled his eyes.
"You're not lying to me. I've had to soak in medicine since I was a kid. My mother said that if I hadn't, I would have died at the age of six." She supported his weight with half of her body, and held the lantern with the other hand. She also had a basket on her back, and it was very difficult for her to walk.
She was a little out of breath. "This world is so wonderful. If I can live, I would be willing to have a pair of lame legs."
King Liang's eyes were gray, "Where is good in this world?"
"Why not? It's good to be alive."
King Liang shook his head, after all, she was just a girl who had never experienced the world.
He never felt how beautiful this world was. In his life, everything was dark and depressing, full of calculations and poisoning, and full of calculations and competition.
As they exited the official road, they saw the Jin guards who were guarding under a tree coming to greet them.
However, King Liang waved his hand slightly, signaling him to leave.
Da Jin was slightly startled, but he retreated as he was told and still stood under the tree.
Then the King of Liang pointed at him and said to Yi'er, "My brother is here. Someone will take me back. You can go back now."
Yi'er raised the lantern and shone it on the Jin guard, then smiled at him and whispered in King Liang's ear, "Your brother looks so much older than you?"
Prince Liang glanced at Da Jin calmly, "He has looked old since he was a child."
Yi Er smiled and waved at him, "I'm leaving. If you want to find me, you can find me under the big banyan tree on North Street."
King Liang looked at her back. The girl holding the lantern and carrying the basket was already walking away in high spirits.
King Liang's face darkened, "Go investigate her."
Over the years, anyone who appeared beside him for no reason was sent by someone.
However, what slightly surprised her was that when she was with her just now, she felt extremely natural and had no such doubt at all.
As soon as she left, all kinds of conspiracies came flooding back.
His life has always been surrounded by various conspiracies, almost making it hard for him to breathe.
