After a piercing creak, the iron door opened.
When I raised my head slightly, my shoulders were firmly pushed back. I sneered and let them carry me down the tunnel.
The cold tunnel winds downwards, with several oil lamps lit on both walls, and the dim lights drift down, followed by elongated and distorted shadows like faceless evil spirits.Shangguan Yun, who was carrying the stretcher in front, was very cautious, and his steps became slower and slower. After turning a few turns, his eyes suddenly brightened.Mei Xiang came faintly.
Stacked mountains and rocks, pavilions and pavilions, one side of the lake is inlaid in the garden like a mirror, and you can see the sparkling clear waves when you open the window. Can't see the edge.
My heart trembled, it was another day, another day!
Ren Yingying and Linghu Chong laughed flirtatiously from behind, the woman was delicate and quiet, her voice was soft, but she was discussing with her lover to kill Dongfang Bubai who raised her since she was a child, and take this garden as his own.I sneered, and quietly hid my clenched fists in my sleeves, commanding Shangguan Yun to go around the rockery and move forward along a winding colored stone corridor.
Walking to the edge of the lake, I suddenly rolled off the stretcher with all my strength, and there was a shout from behind: "Yang Lianting! What are you going to do!"
Before the words were finished, the sword was already coming through the air wrapped in the cold air. I didn't seem to realize it. I just dragged my two bloody broken legs and tried my best to crawl forward, reaching out to reach the mechanism hidden under the stone.
save him.
Save him, save him, no matter what, he must not be killed this time!
Scenes of bloody purgatory memories flashed in front of me in disorder. I seemed to see two long swords piercing through the man in red again. The sharp blades pierced through the thin back and pierced the chest. On the doors and windows, more dripped on the ground, converging into a red stream, slowly flowing to the soles of my feet.
No, no, I screamed to catch him.
Empty one foot.
I opened my eyes suddenly, my chest was still heaving violently.For a while, I couldn't even tell where I was. I just subconsciously stretched my hand under the pillow until my fingertips touched a touch of cold metal, and my beating heart gradually calmed down.
The dagger is still there.
It lay quietly under the pillow, new and sharp, not stained with blood.
I withdrew my hand and glanced out of the window, a few beams of pale light squeezed in through the frosted window, it was still very early.More than ten years of service life have made me wake up at this moment every day. Even if I cheat power and no longer need to get up early in the future, I still can't sleep peacefully.It was very cold, and I just nestled under the thick quilt and didn't want to move.
During this period, I didn't think about anything, my mind was empty, and I haven't recovered yet.
This is a house that is both familiar and unfamiliar to me. I lived here for ten years when I was a lowly handyman on Blackwood Cliff.The house was square, with a bunk built along the wall, and I slept in the corner, with my head facing the air leaking window.Old yellowed coarse cloth curtains were nailed to the windows, and the rhombic sashes could not be closed tightly, and a lot of straw was stuffed in the window cracks to insulate from the severe cold weather.There are large suitcases piled up in the corner. The paint on the suitcases is all gone, the lock is broken, and some sundries are stacked on top of them.Apart from that, there is only an old mottled wooden table with a wooden lampstand and teapot on it.
I rubbed my eyes, hugged the quilt and sat there for another quarter of an hour, then took out the dagger under the pillow, put it in my bosom and hid it next to my body, then slowly lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
There were several people sleeping next to them, snoring everywhere, I took a little look at them, they all looked familiar, I still remembered the names of a few, but I didn't have much impression of many more.
After I folded the quilt, put on the handyman's gray short jacket and cotton trousers, and tightened my belt, I dragged out a wooden tub from underneath, opened the door and went out.There was a well in the yard, and I just poured some cold water to wash my face and comb my messy hair.A pale and listless face was reflected on the slightly swaying water, and there was still a trace of shock in the bloodshot eyes.
I pinched my fleshless face and squeezed out all kinds of weird expressions, and the dimples at the corners of my mouth loomed.After calming down, I fell into a long period of confusion again.
This is me who died tragically in Dongfang Bubai's embroidery room, back to No. 17 days when I was 11 years old.
"Ayang, you got up really early recently."
There was a yawning voice behind me, it was Zhu Han who joined the divine religion in the same group as me. I didn't look back, just hummed, and slowly poured out the water in the wooden basin.He walked up to me, threw the small bucket into the well, shook it, filled half the bucket of water, and quickly washed his face, then he called me: "Let's go to the kitchen together?"
The sky was slightly white and blue, and it was not yet time to work, so most people didn't get up, including the steward.I looked up at Zhu Han. He was a little older than me, with a solid figure, a straight face, and a shrewd light in his eyes.I understand what he means, we get up early, light the fire and cook before others get up, so we can leave a good impression on the steward.
I smiled and followed him.
I did this kind of flattery more actively and smoothly in my previous life than he did, but now I go with him, just wanting to eat more hot porridge while the others are still asleep, but I no longer have the intention of flattering.I don't want to slavishly curry favor with anyone, and I don't want to seek power and profit by any means.I have thought a lot these past few days, and I think that the reason why God allows such a filthy person like me to live a new life is probably because I want to pay off my debts.
I consider myself a villain, and I have offended many people, but in my heart, there is only one person I owe.
Thinking of this, a blurry figure flashed in front of my eyes.I stopped and looked down at my hands.In the past ten days or so, I still dreamed that I lost him again and again. I dreamed that he fell into my arms covered in blood, and the blood that was still warm soaked my whole body. His face was covered with blood. There are still lumps of rouge, and only those black and gentle eyes are left, which have not changed for more than ten years.
The garden where he lives, only I know the entrance, and only I have the key to the iron gate.I locked him up for three years and was addicted to wine, sex and lust. I rarely went to see him. He waited for me alone in that garden. to kill him.
And when he was seriously injured and on the verge of death, he was still begging for my life to be spared.
"Ayang? Why are you in a daze? Come in and help!"
Zhu Han had already walked into the kitchen, and when he turned his head and saw me standing blankly outside the path, he couldn't help urging me.
I finally came back to my senses, suppressed the surging pain in my heart, and chased after him.
People always have to fall hard before they know the pain. Unfortunately, I know it too late.Regardless of whether I am in a dream or not, no matter when the dream wakes up, I have to get up and be a good person.
I squatted by the stove to pull the bellows, while Zhu Han washed rice, cooked porridge, and steamed steamed buns.White mist rose quickly in the kitchen, and the warm aroma of rice and steamed buns filled the air.My face was scalded by the firewood, and my forehead was sweating a little.There was already some noise outside, and everyone probably got up, Zhu Han muttered and sped up his movements, and took out the portion in charge by himself.He looked down at me and said, "Then I'll send it over."
Before I could answer, he seemed to be afraid that I would compete with him for the opportunity to claim credit, so he left in a hurry.I looked at his back for a long time, and thought of my former self, who was also like this, and worked hard to climb up.
In the end, it was still nothing.
After Zhu Han left, other people also came in for breakfast. The handyman was doing rough and tiring work, and he couldn’t get enough to eat twice a day. Besides, there were too many people and there was not enough porridge. I hurriedly filled myself with a bowl of porridge and occupied two big steamed buns. I didn't care if my tongue was hot or not, I just ate it in a hurry.
After I finished eating, Zhu Han still didn't come back. I didn't plan to wait for him, so I picked up the broom and dustpan and went to work.On a December day, the breath turned into ice, I shrugged and walked in the cold wind, sweeping the steps one by one, the morning sun hit my shoulders, and there was no heat at all.
After sweeping the courtyards of several hall masters and elders, I came back to fetch water, boil water, chop firewood, and send them to several courtyards I was in charge of.I haven't done this kind of rough work for a long time since I became the manager, but I don't think it's unfamiliar.Probably because this body, which is more than ten years younger, is used to it.
When the work was almost done and I was sitting on the side resting, Zhu Han finally appeared.Really lazy.Displeased in my heart, I glanced at him lightly, then turned around.He looked worried and a little bit happy, but I didn't bother to ask.I know more about what happened on Blackwood Cliff than he does, so why ask more?
"Ayang..." He sat beside me, hesitant to speak.
I thought about it, it has been five or six years since Dongfang Bubai won the position of leader. In the past five or six years, he has drastically rectified the internal affairs of the church, and the divine religion has grown a lot. Ren Yingying was still a little girl, and after much deliberation, there was nothing important to care about, so she relaxed and waited for Zhu Han to continue.
"Can you lend me some silver taels?" He finally asked.
Yeah, I knew it was okay.I turned to look at him: "Your monthly money is used up so quickly?"
"No, just lend me some," he said with evasive eyes, "I'm in a hurry, good Ayang, just lend me some, one tael, just one tael of silver!"
"One or two?" This is my coolie money for the whole month, I frowned, "What on earth are you going to do?"
He hesitated biting his lower lip.
"If you don't make it clear, I won't lend you."
After being silent for a long time, he compromised, and said in a low voice: "Guan Liu told me that the outside world is not peaceful, and there are many casualties among the congregants sent abroad. Recently, there is a little shortage of manpower... I... I want to learn some fists from the guards in the outer courtyard." , to win over them with money.”
I understood in an instant, no wonder he didn't want to say it, because he was worried that I would compete with him for the spot, I lowered my head, but my heart was a little dazed.I was also like this in my previous life. I lived frugally and saved my monthly money to bribe the guards and stewards. I learned a few simple fists and kicks and became a guard of the outer court through the back door.
It sounds good to be a bodyguard, but in fact he is just a gatekeeper. After all, he has no internal strength and low martial arts, so he can't do much at all, but not everyone who spends money can become a bodyguard. It almost broke me at the time.Later, I saw the gate for two years, and I also operated it for two years. I coaxed several chief guards into smiles. Only then did I have a chance to enter the inner courtyard, and then by chance, I was brought to me by Dongfang Bubai work……
"Ah Yang, I beg you, just lend me. I'll come back and teach you when I've learned it. We can save a lot of money!" Seeing that I was still in a daze, Zhu Han anxiously grabbed my arm .I looked at him for a while, then untied my purse, and handed over the two broken pieces of silver to Zhu Han, leaving only a few coins for myself.
Zhu Han was stunned, and he couldn't believe how generous I was.After all, before I was reborn, I was in the same category as him.Both of us don't want to be looked down upon by others, and we don't want to live a poor and poor life. In order to prove our ability, we stand taller and trample all those guys who look down on people. My ambition is no less than his.
"Don't forget to buy me a drink when you're out." I patted him on the shoulder and left with a shoulder pole.
Zhu Han won't understand me now, I've experienced life and death, I don't want to squeeze my way to Dongfang Bubai's side any more, I don't want to be a bad manager, I'm always a drag by his side, I don't want to hurt him anymore.As long as I don't interfere, who can win him?Just let things take their course, so what if you spend your whole life as a handyman?I just need to watch him from a distance, guard him, and then inform him so that those people don't harm him.
I subconsciously touched the hidden dagger, and the hard touch of the iron reassured me.
When I raised my head slightly, my shoulders were firmly pushed back. I sneered and let them carry me down the tunnel.
The cold tunnel winds downwards, with several oil lamps lit on both walls, and the dim lights drift down, followed by elongated and distorted shadows like faceless evil spirits.Shangguan Yun, who was carrying the stretcher in front, was very cautious, and his steps became slower and slower. After turning a few turns, his eyes suddenly brightened.Mei Xiang came faintly.
