Ah Chang

A Chang never thought about what life would be like without her husband.

"Cough! Cough...A-Shang..."

The man beside him woke A Chang up, his voice was like a dry well.A Chang hurriedly helped the man up, the man was extremely thin, his body was bony and bony, and when his withered and sick body was leaning against A Chang's arms, she felt a little pain.

"The medicine... drink it..."

A Chang's voice was very soft, and she was always cautious. She put the medicine into the man's mouth, and the man fell asleep again due to the effect of the medicine, but she couldn't fall asleep anyway.

The evening wind in late autumn has brought a little bit of chill. Ah Shang gently opened the window, gathered a thin shirt and sat in front of the mirror. From time to time, there was a man coughing lightly from behind. peering into his own face.

When Ah Shang was 20 years old, she was bought into the Song family and married the frail and sick only son of the Song family for the sake of joy.

It's three years in a flash.

Three years have transformed her from a young girl into a married woman. She looked at herself in the mirror, and the evening wind came through the gap, fluttering her hair lightly, and her once bright eyes were replaced by fatigue and restlessness. In the past three years, she seemed to be walking on the tip of a needle. She was cautious and kept her duty. Only in the middle of the night, after the man fell asleep, could she have such a short moment to belong to herself.

It was raining in autumn, and it seemed to be raining outside the house. Something slipped from the roof and fell heavily to the ground amidst the sound of fine rain.

A Chang was a little scared. She glanced at the man who was deeply asleep, and went out of the house alone. The rain outside the house was heavier than she thought, and the fallen leaves fell on the ground, and then A Chang saw the man lying in the leaves. The blood under her body dyed the remaining leaves a dazzling red, and the smell of blood permeated through the rain.

"..."

A Chang was obviously frightened by the scene in front of her, she froze in place for the first time, until she saw those eyes.

The girl's eyes were stained with blood, and her slightly raised eyes were shining with a cold light under the moonlight. She turned to look at her, and those eyes seemed to be saying to her: "Come here."

A Chang couldn't refuse.

"you......"

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the sound of the rain hitting the eaves covered up A-Shang's violent heartbeat. The girl's eyes seemed to have some kind of irresistible power, pulling A-Shang closer step by step.As soon as he lightly touched the girl's body, A-Shang saw a faint smile in those eyes, and then the girl passed out.

"This is... how to do it..."

A Chang stood there looking at the fainted girl, she wanted to move the girl out of the rain, but the blood stains all over her body made her not know where to start.A Chang is always like this, he would hesitate to do anything, until she was soaked by rain like the girl, then she gritted her teeth and decided to drag the girl to the corridor first.

The girl was not heavy, but Ah Chang felt that it was very strenuous. Her thin body dragged the girl and it was difficult for her to walk an inch in the rain. After that, Ah Chang couldn't tell whether it was rain or sweat on his body.

"..."

A Chang tried to remove the dripping water from her forehead and stared at the girl quietly. The girl seemed to have been seriously injured, and the blood all over her body was shocking. She did not dare to act rashly, like a frightened little rabbit, This rain is hidden, but what should I do next...

"girl...."

A Chang approached slightly and tried to call the girl softly, but her voice was too soft, and she disappeared in the rain.

The sound of the rustling rain wrapped up A-Shang's unsteady heartbeat, and when she got closer, she could clearly see the girl's face.The girl's fair skin was glowing under the raindrops, her long and thin eyelashes, her straight nose, and her pale, bloody lips...

Even so haggard, one can still see the girl's peerless beauty.

A Chang was fascinated by the sudden sound of hasty footsteps outside the courtyard. When she turned around in a panic, someone grabbed her wrist. She almost cried out, but her lips were tightly covered by someone.

"Well..."

There was a special smell mixed with rain that drifted into A-Shang's mouth, sticky and cold, like rust, which made A-Shang frowned.

"Don't be afraid."

A voice sounded in Ah Chang's ear, hoarse as if wrapped in sand, pouring into her mind, she didn't dare to move more, and then heard some slight gasps.

The smell of rust came from blood, and the hoarse voice was not covered in sand, but thick blood.

The girl did not know when she woke up, she quietly held A-Shang in front of her, and the hoarse voice came closer: "If Madam doesn't call, I will let go of my hand."

A Chang didn't even dare to nod her head, she just blinked her eyelashes stiffly, the girl slowly withdrew her hand, A Chang didn't make any sound as she said.

The slight panting sound gradually became heavy, A-Shang frowned and watched the girl leaning aside, she didn't dare to speak, and she didn't dare to act rashly, the girl tried the blood on her cheeks, and raised the corners of her lips lightly, like a smile but not a smile Shaking his head, Ah Shang finally couldn't help but say, "Girl, you..."

"lady."

The girl glanced at her pupils, and stopped what A Chang wanted to say with just one glance. It was clearly a word asking for help, but it was not in the tone of a request. Being looked at by those eyes, A Chang couldn't refuse at all.

"Can you help me?"

The girl's eyes are like wolves, glowing sharply in the cold rainy night.

---------

"Bunnet, Panax notoginseng, Bletilla striata..." The shopkeeper of the pharmacy grabbed the medicine for A-Shang, and at the end he did not forget to ask with concern: "Ma'am, these are all strong hemostatic medicines. Anyone hurt?"

"No...no..." A Chang took the medicine and quickly turned around and left, "Strong hemostatic medicine..." She murmured what the doctor said just now, thinking about the name of the doctor last night. The girl was probably seriously injured: "There's so much blood, how could it be okay..."

"Don't be so nervous, ma'am, I'm fine."

This was the last sentence the girl said to Ah Chang, and then the girl passed out again, leaving only a piece of prescription.

-----------

"Yu... Yulang opened both hands... lifted Hui Niang's quilt, leaned against her, stretched out his hand... and touched her body, tired..."

"Smooth as crisp."

"Smooth as crisp..."

A Chang followed the man's words and read the book in her hand. She has read this book for the man for countless times, but every time she is so difficult, every word in the book is like a stone. It was stuck in her throat, making it difficult for her to speak.

"Why don't you continue?"

The man glanced at her under the candlelight, and A-Shang's body suddenly tightened. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the man's hunched figure trembling slightly under the firelight. She pursed her lips: "Yulang (Harmony) is already... She has already put on her little clothes, and Huiniang has also been mobilized... to mobilize Chun Xin..."

A Chang's words stopped again, and the man's hand touched her thin shoulders through the book "Chunxin", without using any force, but A Chang had to obey and leaned over, the hand shaped like a dead branch (Patriotic ), A-Shang pursed her lips even tighter, and her body began to tremble slightly, but it was not because her "spring heart" was mobilized.

She is afraid of him.

A Chang is afraid of this man beside her, this man who should be called "husband" by her.

This feeling has been lingering in her heart ever since she stepped into Song's house.She still can't forget the scene when she met the man for the first time.The man's gloomy face was lifeless, and when he looked at her, he seemed to be looking at prey in a cage, which made Ah Chang feel a kind of fear from the inside out.

The man was seriously ill and was unable to have sex.

A Chang learned about it on the first night of her marriage, and for some reason she breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of her heart.

But a man is a man after all, and if he is physically weak, he always wants to seek comfort and satisfaction spiritually, so the man starts to ask A Chang to read for her, going back and forth every night.

All I read are books about stealing incense and jade, and avoiding obscenity.

A Chang's poor family had never read a book, so the man taught her, word by word, sentence by sentence. When those unbearable words came out of A Chang's mouth, he seemed to be able to get satisfaction from it.

A Chang didn't like this, she even hated it, but she was his wife after all, so she had no choice but to refuse.

"Cough...! Cough cough!"

The man's hand that moved down stopped in a sudden violent cough, and A Chang got up to get the medicine for the man, so as to avoid the moment when she was suffocated.

"The medicine... drink it..."

This is what A Chang said the most to men. After these words, A Chang will be relieved temporarily.

-----------

After the man fell asleep, it started to rain again, the rain was gloomy and slightly cold like last night, so Ah Chang had the opportunity to visit the girl who was hidden by her in the utility room.

The girl has already woken up, and it is not surprising to see A-Shang coming.

On the contrary, A Chang felt a little inexplicably nervous for some reason, the girl was still wearing the clothes from last night, and the mottled blood had condensed on the snow-white silk, and A Chang could tell that it was the best silk.

The girl casually picked up an object and played with it in her hands. A Chang blushed after just one glance. It was a man's thing, his "collection".

Not only the one in the girl's hand, the whole room is filled with all kinds of strange and ingenious gadgets.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many treasures in this utility room." The girl put down one and picked up another, playing with taste in her mouth: "It seems that the relationship between the master and the wife is really close..."

"Don't move around!" A Chang, who has always been gentle, was a little embarrassed by the girl's words. Her cheeks were hot, and she snatched the thing from the girl's hand, and hid it in her sleeve without even looking at it. Then he changed his tone: "I...husband doesn't like others messing with his things..."

"Oh?" The girl deliberately elongated the ending, and raised the corners of her eyes. As soon as A Chang met her gaze, she immediately dodged away, and the girl said leisurely: "I'm offended."

The land is low and rainy, and the autumn rain is even more lingering. A Chang stood there with eyelashes drooping, and it took him a while to remember why he came here.

"What you want..."

When she handed the medicine to the girl, A-Shang still didn't dare to raise her eyes. She just felt the girl's approach and her heart hung up. The girl's fingertips slipped across her fingertips, and she quickly withdrew her hand.

"Hui Niang was also mobilized, forget about the reason..."

A Chang didn't hear the "thank you" that should have appeared. The girl's words made her already tight heart suddenly tightened. She raised her eyes in disbelief, and finally met those sharp eyes. Under the candlelight, she saw the girl's face clearly for the first time.

The skin is white and flawless, delicate and elegant, the girl is very beautiful, it is the kind of aggressive beauty.

Especially those eyes, narrow and the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, and when he smiles, there is a cold light, just like a wolf.

"How do you know..."

"That book is called Yulouchun."

"you……"

"If madam helps me, I can help madam to be free."
