I do beauty in Jianghu

Bai Muxi hurriedly got up, put on her clothes and shoes, and walked towards the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the man sitting on the stone steps outside the house in the same posture as before, with his eyes open, looking at the sky blankly.

He was looking at the sky, but he didn't look at the sky. His aimless eyes were just in a daze.

Bai Muxi softened her heart and reached out to touch him.

"Hey, you... are you okay?"

The man is silent.

Bai Muxi sighed softly, and sat down next to him, "The kitchen still has the pancakes I bought today, do you want to warm them up for you?"

Still no response.

Bai Muxi didn't want to give up, he thought, this person thinks that he deserves to be beaten for hooking up with his husband, but also thinks that the slap in the face is too much, so he will stop him, and he will apologize after listening to the explanation. All things are indifferent.

"Now that you're all up, don't ignore me."

"For the sake of taking care of you for ten days, please talk to me."

The man leaned against the door frame and listened blankly.

The night was very quiet, the early spring wind was a bit cool, the night was deep and long, and there were low and shallow crickets all around, like an accompaniment, wandering in the small courtyard with Bai Muxi's gentle voice.

"You look miserable, but I'm miserable too."

"When I was four years old, my father divorced my mother, and soon after, I had a younger brother. Unfortunately, my second mother didn't like me, probably because she was afraid that my brother and I would take over the family property. Although our family also I don’t have much money, but since I had a younger brother, I’ve been sent to the woodshed, where I don’t have enough food or clothing to keep warm, and I do odd jobs with the servants, and I’m always beaten and kicked by the servants.”

"One day I accidentally broke a vase. They locked me in the woodshed and starved for two days. After I was released, I had to continue to work. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I crawled out of the dog hole in the backyard to find my mother. , Some of the neighbors knew about my family affairs, so they secretly sent me to my mother’s house.”

"As a result, my mother also remarried. When I went to my mother's place, not only did I not have enough to eat, but my mother-in-law's family treated me coldly, so I became a punching bag for their family. If I give some food, I will be fine." Beat and scold at will."

"later……"

"I can't take it anymore."

Bai Muxi smiled: "I really don't like suffering."

"I ran away again, running back and forth aimlessly by myself. When it rained, I took shelter in a cowshed. I didn't know where to go or whom to turn to."

"Later, an old beggar saw that I was pitiful, so he took me to beg together. In this way, he saved his life. Slowly... heh, he grew up."

"Now that I'm well fed and clothed, I think about those things...although it's still sad, but there's no need to be too entangled. I don't like to always think about the past. No matter what happened, it's over. , since God didn’t directly cut off our way of life, we always have to continue to live.”

He tilted his head to look at the man, "Do you know, when I was 16 years old, someone slashed my cheek with a knife because I was too good-looking."

He raised his chin and pointed to his cheek, although the man didn't look back, he didn't care, "This scar has been with me for a long time, until I got this prescription of Yunzhi Pearl Cream some time ago, and I used it to make it I put the pearl ointment on my face, but after more than half a month, I can hardly see it."

"When it's dawn tomorrow, after we've had breakfast, I'll wipe it off for you too. You may not be able to wipe off all the wounds on your face, but it's always good to be able to wipe some of them away."

"Just not sleepy, I'll go and warm up the cake for you."

He got up and walked towards the kitchen, leaving the man sitting alone on the stone steps. The night was dark, and the lanterns under the eaves shone with dim yellow light, reflecting a faint light in his dull eyes.

Bai Muxi put the warm sesame seed cakes with eggs on a plate and brought them out in front of the man: "Eat it, take it as a thank you gift for saving me today, and I even asked the boss to pack an egg for you, boss Said it happened to be a double yellow, good luck, it was cheaper for us."

The man lowered his eyes, and after a while, reached out to take the plate.

Bai Muxi felt relieved immediately.

It seems that I was not in vain nagging my cheeks for a long time.

After the man took the plate, he didn't rush to eat. Instead, he looked at him and asked, "Your parents treated you so harshly, didn't you think about revenge?"

Bai Muxi was stunned, and said: "After all, they gave birth to me."

Man: "I gave birth to you, but trampled on you like this, can this be called kindness?"

Bai Muxi shook his head, sat back on the stone steps, was silent for a long time, and said slowly.

"...Actually...I thought about it..."

"That winter, I couldn't get anything to eat for two or three days, went to pick up trash, and was beaten on the ground by a few gangsters. At that time, I thought about...I thought about running back and killing them while they were sleeping. Then I commit suicide again, everyone is done, and we will never see each other again in the next life."

"But... just when I was full of thoughts about how to kill them, a lady passing by saw me lying on the snow covered with blood, and ordered her servants to help me up and send me to the The hospital bandaged it, and then treated me to a meal of braised pork at a nearby restaurant."

Bai Muxi covered her face in embarrassment, and laughed: "It may be a bit embarrassing to say, but since I ate that bowl of braised pork, I never want to kill people again, I just think that bowl of braised pork is really delicious , I will work hard to make money so that I can have another meal."

The man didn't laugh, but slowly lowered his head, thoughtful.

"Later, I worked hard to make money, and finally made enough money, so I ate it again, and it was still so delicious! It's a pity that I used all my money to make this pearl ointment, otherwise I could invite you to eat it again After a meal, the taste of their braised pork is really unique."

As he was talking, the smell of the delicious bowl of braised pork seemed to come out of his mouth again, Bai Muxi smacked his lips greedily, and muttered: "I really don't know when I will be able to sell a box, sell a box box, I have money to eat."

The man was holding the plate of sesame seed cakes, and thought of something for some reason, his wrists trembled slightly. There was no smell of braised pork in his mouth, but more of the smell of blood like rust.

Suddenly, the man laughed twice, but there was no smile in it. Instead, it was full of hatred and sarcasm. His hoarse voice was like the sound of hell, terrifying.

Then, he slowly stretched out his hand, and with his scarred hand, picked up the piece of biscuit that was about to cool off.

What Bai Muxi said was right, there was really a double yolk egg in the biscuit.

It's good luck.

……

In the early morning of the next day, Bai Muxi woke up early and climbed out of bed sleepily, only to find that the floor covering beside the bed was gone. Looking at the cabinet, the floor covering was neatly folded and placed on the cabinet.

Bai Muxi was stunned, he remembered that man was sleeping on the floor yesterday, could it be that he got up earlier than him?

He put on his clothes and went out, and sure enough, he saw a man in the yard. He did not know where he brought a big stone, and he did not know how to level the stone, so he could use it as a stone bench, and sat on it, looking at the budding peaches. The tree is in a trance.

Seeing that he was much more normal than before, Bai Muxi cheered up immediately, washed up hastily, made breakfast, and then called the man to eat.

This time the man did not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and came as soon as he greeted him.

Seeing the figure of the man walking in, Bai Muxi was slightly startled. He didn't pay attention because he had been lying on the bed before, but he didn't realize until he stood up during the day that this man was really tall, not to mention taller than himself by a full head, and The figure is strong and slender, with narrow waist and long legs, very seductive.

Bai Muxi was a little surprised. He had seen a lot of people of all kinds over the years, but most of them were ordinary people, or wealthy business owners. It's really rare.

It's the messy long hair that hasn't been taken care of for a long time, and the scars on his face are really unpleasant.

"Speaking of which, we talked for so long last night, I still don't know your name."

Bai Muxi brought him the meal.

"My name is Bai Muxi, wood of wood and stone, Xi of hope."

Bai Muxi sat down with a bowl and said with a smile, "Although my parents treat me ruthlessly, I really like the name they gave me."

After the man took the bowl and chopsticks, he was silent for a while.

Bai Muxi is a little strange, does it take a long time to think about a name?If you don't want to say your real name, you can just use a pseudonym, but he thinks it's weird to keep shouting.

As he was thinking, the man said slowly, "Qi Ming."

Bai Muxi immediately said: "Which inscription?"

The man's lowered gaze swept over his scarred back of the hand, and a hint of sarcasm appeared in his tone: "The engraved inscription."

Bai Muxi looked at him, then looked at his hands, always felt that this person was gloomy, and seemed to hide too many things on his body, so he didn't dare to speak any more, and obediently bowed his head to eat.

After eating, Bai Muxi excitedly ran to the cabinet to take out the box of pearl ointment she was using, and then came to Qi Ming, asking him to brush his hair away and rub it on his face.

Qi Ming resisted a little, and didn't understand why he suddenly wanted to apply this thing. Doesn't this box look like a girl's homemade makeup powder?

Bai Muxi said as it should: "We made an agreement last night. I will apply this pearl ointment to you to see if it can remove some of your scars. This is very useful, and mine will be gone."

Qi Ming thought blankly, did he agree then?

Bai Muxi assumed that he agreed, and couldn't help but paint it on his face. Qi Ming was so painted that he backed away again and again. He hadn't put anything on his face in half his life. The cold and greasy feeling was so weird, but As soon as he retreated, Bai Muxi took his arm and pulled it back, with a posture that must be painted. After Qi Ming struggled a few times, instead of struggling away, the distance between the two became closer and closer.

Looking up, you can see Bai Muxi's long and dense eyelashes.

Qi Ming had to be honest.

So comfort myself, it doesn't matter, just paint it.

He hasn't experienced anything in this life, isn't it just smearing, he hasn't smeared these things in his life, so he should try it out.

The ice-cold pearl ointment was applied to his face, and the scent went straight into his nose. It was a bit strange at first, but he got used to it after a long time. After Bai Muxi carefully applied all the scars on his face, it was already gone. After a long time, Bai Muxi's arm was sore, and Qi Ming's neck was also uncomfortable.

Bai Muxi took back the pearl ointment, let out a long sigh of relief, and said, "Okay, I will apply it twice in the morning and evening, and it will be fine soon."

Qi Ming: "..."

Um? ? ? ? ?
