The prince's personal bodyguard
Chapter 29 A Luo (1)
A-Luo was a girl picked up by Aunt Sun, who made baskets in the east of the village, when she went to the town to sell baskets five years ago. She was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time, dark and thin, with blank eyes. She didn't know where she came from or what her name was. She seemed to remember nothing. Because she was picked up by Aunt Sun when she was selling baskets, everyone called her A-Luo.
When she came, she had many wounds on her body, many parts of her body were festering, and she was running a fever. Aunt Sun was afraid that she would die, so she brought her to the valley master for treatment.
Because she was a little girl, her father couldn't handle the wounds, so he asked Bai Xinyin to help clean them. Her back was covered with scars, the longest of which was half a foot long, densely packed, and her arms were also covered with scratches, each one shocking. Because of the long time, the clothes and the wounds were stuck together, and when she washed them, the clothes were cut, peeling off a layer of skin, and there was no good flesh on her body. There was only something like a small mirror hanging on her chest. When asked what it was, she didn't know, probably her family put it on her, and they were reluctant to take it off, like a treasure.
The girl's eyes were full of tears, and she gritted her teeth without making a sound. Bai Xinyin felt her pulse and found that besides internal injuries, there seemed to be a little blood bruise on her head, but she didn't lose her memory.
Girls all love beauty. When she came to change the dressing, Bai Xinyin gave her a bottle of scar remover that she had developed herself and told her that applying it could eliminate scars. The stubborn and strong-willed girl suddenly burst into tears.
From then on, A'Luo often came to Bai Xinyin's place, either bringing some mountain products or some vegetables she grew herself. She was always quiet and just smiled shyly.
Bai Xinyin asked her if she knew how to read. He wrote it down for her to see, but she shook her head. Sometimes when Bai Xinyin was free, he would teach her a few words. She would happily read it many times.
Two years ago, the Fan family from the neighboring village came to the Sun family to propose marriage. The eldest son of the Fan family, Fan Hui, worked as a farmer at home and married Wu. The second son, Fan Shu, loved reading. The family favored the second son and provided him with education because he had read some books and was handsome and elegant.
Because Fan Shu had met A'luo once and had developed feelings for her, he sent a matchmaker to propose marriage to her.
The Sun family saw that the girl was good-looking and A'luo was already grown up. The eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family felt that it was one more mouth to feed. Although she did not say anything explicitly, she also intended to drive her out, so they agreed to the marriage for her.
Ah Luo was reluctant at first, but she didn't know whether she was sad because of her life experience or she blamed herself for her bad luck. She cried for half the night, but since she would get married sooner or later, she agreed after considering Aunt Sun.
Both parties chose an auspicious date for the engagement. When the day arrived, with music and dance all the way, the bridal sedan carried A-Luo into the Fan family.
At first, Fan Shu treated A Luo very well, caring about her and showing great concern for her. However, as time went on, his lazy and greedy habits became apparent. The elegant young man turned into a domestic violence offender.
The meal is late, please fight.
The food tasted bland, so I grabbed his hair and beat him.
The water for washing feet was too hot, so I kicked it to the ground.
A Luo cried to her mother-in-law.
"When a young couple lives together, it's bound to be noisy. Beating is love, scolding is love. If there's no spanking or scolding, there's no love!" The mother-in-law turned away and ignored him.
Since ancient times, women have been following their husbands. Ah Luo returned to the Sun family and cried, and Aunt Sun could only persuade her, saying that couples don't hold grudges overnight, and everything will be fine once they get used to each other's tempers.
Unexpectedly, Fan Shu became even more aggressive. When he heard that A-Luo had returned to her parents' home to complain and her mother-in-law was fanning the flames, he came back and beat A-Luo even harder, even pressing her head into a jar to suffocate her.
Once, she was beaten so badly that she crawled back to the Sun family with only one breath left. When Aunt Sun saw her, she was also angry and asked A'Luo to live in the Sun family and decided not to return to the Fan family.
But after just a few days of living there, they discovered that Luo was pregnant. After all, the child was from the Fan family, so Aunt Sun's daughter-in-law notified the Fan family to come and pick her up.
When the Fan family heard that the baby was born, they quickly harnessed their carriage to come and pick her up. Fan Shu kowtowed and bowed to Aunt Sun, saying that he would never do anything wrong again. He also wrote a letter of guarantee that he would not beat A'Luo again.
Since she is pregnant with her own child, she should be more restrained, right? Aunt Sun thought. She accepted the letter of guarantee and had Luo taken away.
But within three days, someone came to tell Aunt Sun that someone was going to die. Fan Shu had been drinking and beat A-Luo, causing her to have a miscarriage. She was bleeding profusely and was in danger of dying.
Aunt Sun quickly asked someone to prepare a car to pick up A'Luo and drive her straight to the Medicine King Valley Master. Bai Xinyin was the one who received the consultation. She felt distressed and angry when she saw A'Luo, who was so thin and covered with scars.
Because the child was sent to the hospital promptly and Bai Xinyin personally diagnosed and treated the child, the child was not saved, but fortunately there were no sequelae.
A woman cannot go back to her parents' home after the confinement period. When A-Luo mentioned her husband's home, her eyes were filled with tears and dull. Naturally, she could not go back. Bai Xinyin was not short of food, so she let A-Luo live in her yard temporarily.
When she felt a little better, Ah Luo would sit in the yard and think about things. When she felt a little better, she would help Zi Xuan and the others with work in the yard. Bai Xinyin knew that she was very strong, so she had to take care of her and not let her do heavy work.
One day, A'Luo got up early and saw Bai Xinyin practicing martial arts. She waved her hand, gathered the fallen leaves in the yard together, and then crushed them all with a look of admiration on her face.
Then his face turned red and he stammered for a long time before saying that he wanted to learn martial arts from Bai Xinyin.
Bai Xinyin thought that she couldn't take care of Luo all the time. Luo was old, and the martial arts that she had practiced since she was a child were naturally not suitable for her, so she taught her a simple and fast close combat technique - Krav Maga, which most people can practice, mainly to protect themselves.
Bai Xinyin learned Krav Maga in a martial arts class at university. At that time, she also practiced Wing Chun, which was very effective. Bai Xinyin felt that the two fighting techniques had their own advantages. Krav Maga was easier for ordinary people to master. It could help them grow both physically and mentally. After systematic Krav Maga training, when they encounter danger, they can rely on their instinctive reactions and quickly adopt plans to attack the enemy's vital points according to local conditions to ensure their own safety. This is even more important for women and children.
Ah Luo was very happy, and studied very seriously and practiced very hard. In just a few days, she learned it well.
"You're too thin. You need to take good care of yourself, or you won't have the strength!"
"Okay, I'm going to eat well!"
A Luo lived in Wangchen for three months and practiced martial arts for more than two months. Bai Xinyin made A Luo's body stronger and her face became rosy. Influenced by Bai Xinyin's modern ideas, she smiled more often and her personality gradually became more cheerful. Sometimes she would stare at the small pendant on her neck in a daze.
Winter passed and spring came. Someone from the Sun family came to say that the Fan family came to apologize. Ah Luo didn't want to go. Aunt Sun was trying to persuade her. Sure enough, after a while, Fan Shu came with a thorn stick on his back. When Zi Xuan saw it, she imitated others and apologized, which was embarrassing for the ancients: "I'll beat him to death!"
Bai Xinyin used her eyes to stop Zixuan. This was A-Luo's own business, so let A-Luo solve it herself. A-Luo was silent at first. Just when Bai Xinyin thought that A-Luo didn't want to go back and wanted to drive away the Fan family, A-Luo said, "Okay, I'll go back to the Fan family with you!"
