Mountains and rivers pray for peace

Chapter 41 West Street Sparrow Slave
Hearing the rain for a while.

Because Quenu has a very beautiful face.

It's beauty, not handsomeness.

On the way back, Quenu's face was covered with dirt, and his messy hair covered his lowered head. His appearance was not discernible at all. When they were on West Street, Huo Qi praised Quenu's beauty, but Ting Yu only said it was a joke.But when Que Nu washed her face and her appearance was clearly revealed in front of her eyes, she took this joke seriously.

Que Nu's face did not have the toughness and masculinity of a man at all, and his skin was so fair that it was almost transparent. Looking at it from a distance, it looked more like a feminine woman.But if he looks like a woman, he doesn't have the powdery air of a woman.However, the most eye-catching thing on Que Nu's face was the pair of cut-off pupils. At the moment, he was staring blankly, revealing a bit of ignorance and innocence.

"It's so beautiful... But, why would someone have blue pupils? It's really weird." Ting Yu murmured, already dumbfounded.

Huo Qi wasn't surprised, if he wasn't pretty enough, how could Yuan Xianzhi choose Que Nu to present to Emperor Xiaowen?As for the color of the pupils, she thought, the world is so big, there are so many wonders, so what if the skin is different from ordinary people?

She took the initiative to approach Que Nu and smiled gracefully: "Do you know who I am?"

Que Nu remained silent and would just stare blankly at her, motionless. If she looked carefully, there was a bit of wariness in her eyes.

"My name is Huo Qi." Huo Qi stared at Quenu closely and said softly, "You may not be able to remember it now, but if we get along for a long time, you will always be able to remember it."

Que Nu raised his eyes to look at her as if he were flying, and nodded slightly.

Huo Qi smiled: "You are really smart."

Quenu seemed to be able to understand that Huo Qi was praising him. His original wariness dissipated a bit, and a rare smile appeared on his innocent face.

"Hey! Girl, Quenu smiled!" Tingyu said in surprise.

Huo Qi nodded, but he faintly noticed the colorful patch of purple and red under the sleeve of Que Nu's white shirt, presumably it was the whip marks from the peddler's whipping.The blue and purple scars fell on the fair skin, like snow-white milk mixed with flower juice.

She turned her head and ordered: "Go and get the medicine that was placed on the shelf last time."

"Is it the bottle I picked up on the stone table in the yard last time?"

"Exactly." Huo Qi nodded.

That bottle of medicine was probably given by Shen Yuning. The medicine he gave must be a good thing for healing injuries.The top priority was to heal Quenu's injury. It was not convenient for her to call a doctor now, so she had to take medicine for a while.

Tingyu quickly fetched the medicine, and according to Huo Qi's instructions, pulled Quenu onto the chair and prepared to give him the medicine.

When Que Nu, who was originally calm, saw the medicine bottle, he immediately showed a frightened expression, hugging his arm tightly and refusing to let go.Tingyu wanted to give him medicine forcibly, but his face became more frightened, and he kept beating Tingyu's arm.Seeing that she was about to go forward, she straightened up and ran around in the main house, not letting Ting Yu get close.

Ting Yu said helplessly: "Girl, what should I do? Que Nu refuses to take the medicine. He can't be a fool, right? It seems that he can't understand our words, and he doesn't know how to speak."

"Qinu has just escaped from the devil's cave, and it is human nature to be wary of others for a moment. Give me the medicine, and you can clean out the house in the side courtyard first. He must have a place to stay."

"But if he is placed in Qiju, if the master and his wife find out..."

From Ting Yu's point of view, although Que Nu is an adult man, her heart is like a child's. She only thinks that Miss is kind-hearted and saved this slave.But in the eyes of outsiders, it is Huo Qi hiding men in the boudoir, and his morals are corrupt.If it spreads out, the reputation may not be guaranteed.If there is no help from the old lady to cover it up, this matter will spread sooner or later.

"You find an opportunity to go to the main courtyard to report back. Just say that when I was playing on the street, I encountered a bird slave selling his body to bury my father, and I couldn't bear to buy it. Because Qiju lacked a boy to watch the night, I asked him to stay with me This guard guards me Zhou Quan, so my parents probably won't say much."

Tingyu nodded in agreement and retreated.

Huo Qi didn't take the initiative to approach Quenu again. The overlord's act of forcing the bow was not her style.At this time, if the bird slave is forced to take medicine, he will probably resist even more fiercely in order to safeguard his sovereignty.So, she just sat quietly on the chair, staring at him unhurriedly, without speaking or moving.

After a while, Quenu looked at Huo Qi's eyes and calmed down.He originally thought that Huo Qi would tie him with a rope or whip him with a whip.But she didn't, she just looked at him indifferently. There was a calming magic in her eyes. The thing in her eyes was the same as her own.

She should be harmless.

He took the initiative to move towards Huo Qi and slowly stretched out his arm.

Listening to the wind smiled happily: "Girl, Que Slave seems to be showing kindness to you."

It is true that people's hearts are separated from each other, and it is also true that people's hearts can feel each other.Huo Qi didn't say anything, but took Que Nu's arm and applied medicine to him. The white powder covered the wound, as if it also covered the wound on Que Nu's heart.Although his eyes were still timid, his body was completely relaxed.It could be seen that he trusted the girl in front of him with all his heart.

Due to the application of medicine, Que Slave's sleeves were rolled up, clearly revealing the mottled scars. The more Ling Feng looked at it, the more confused she became. She said, "Girl, I see something strange about Que Slave's injuries." .”

"Huh? What do you think?"

"Girl, look, although the wound on Que Nu's body looks scary, it's not serious. Judging by the color and shape of the wound, it's not a pale scar from an old wound, but a new whip wound. Generally speaking, a whip Hit on the body, ranging from red and swollen, to severe, the skin is torn. Today, I see that the trafficker is a black-hearted ghost, and he doesn't treat Que Nu as a human being at all. He is big and strong, how could he strike so lightly?"

Lefeng was talking on his own, but he didn't notice a strange look in Que Nu's eyes, but Huo Qi glanced at her appreciatively, and said with a smile: "You girl, you are quite clever."

In a moment, Huo Qi had given Quenu the medicine.

"Stop pretending."

Huo Qi suddenly spoke, his voice extremely cold, like the dew on the sycamore leaves after the autumn rain.

She put down the sleeve robe, stared at Que Nu's eyes with a half-smile, and said slowly: "I know, you can understand me and speak, but you just don't trust me right now, so you pretend to be stupid on purpose."

When Quenu heard this, his expression remained unchanged, but his back suddenly became stiff, and his little finger couldn't help but curl up slightly.

Huo Qi is the best at observing words and expressions. She noticed the strangeness of Que Nu and said unhurriedly: "I guess you must be curious now, how do I know, right?"

Quenu stared at him, his blue eyes glowing like an auspicious beast in ancient legends.

"Not only do I know that you are pretending to be stupid, I also know that your legs and feet are not weak. If you didn't have some feelings for the trafficker and you refused to fight back, he would have died in your hands, right?"

In fact, she had already discovered the unusualness of this injury, but she was not surprised.

In the previous life, an assassin assassinated Emperor Xiaowen in the Imperial Garden. It was Quenu who saved Emperor Xiaowen's life.Otherwise, no matter how much Emperor Xiaowen favored the Yuan family, he would not be so fond of Quenu.

Although the vendor has brute strength, he doesn't know much about martial arts. Que Nu's legs and feet are not weak, so he can easily dodge.These injuries were just injuries caused by the whiplash, not the actual wounds.

Otherwise, with Que Nu's aloof personality and being a man of no use to peddlers, he would have died a long time ago. How could he survive to this day?
"How did you know?"

Quenu finally spoke a complete sentence.

"You don't need to know this. You just need to know that I won't harm you." Huo Qi said slowly, "Although I bought you today, I don't want to force anyone to do anything. I only ask you, can you do it in the future? Do you want to follow me? Although there is nothing good here, I can eat enough and sleep until dawn. If you are willing, I will also teach you how to read."

"Yes." Que Nu said.

Although he didn't know who Huo Qi was, her aura and her eyes always gave him a familiar feeling of finding someone of the same kind, and he felt that he must be safe if he stayed by her side.

"Then it's settled." Huo Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "By the way, how did you fall into the hands of that trafficker? Do you still have an impression?"

Generally speaking, the sources of human slaves are nothing more than the following: first, kidnappers abducted lost children, and then sold them to human traffickers for profit; second, some cruel parents of poor families sold their own children Go out to change rations; the last possibility is that some prostitutes in low-end kilns accidentally conceived the child of the benefactor, but the benefactor is a beast, so the prostitutes had to sell the child at a low price go.

In the previous life, although Huo Qi knew Quenu's whereabouts, he didn't know his return.In this life, if he could find his parents back, it would be considered a meritorious deed.

After hearing this, Quenu just shook his head.

"Can't remember?" Huo Qi asked.

Quenu nodded again.

Seeing that Que Nu's expression didn't seem to be fake, Huo Qi didn't ask any more questions.After all, if Que Nu could think of something, he might have run away long ago, so why would he be obedient and let the peddler manipulate him.A person who has no way back is like driftwood without roots, letting the torrent of fate take him far away.

"What did you buy me for?"

Que Nu no longer pretended to be stupid, and asked Huo Qi instead.

"As I said before, I know that you are good at legs and feet, and I happen to be short of a guard to protect my safety, so I chose you." Huo Qi explained slowly, "Of course, I won't let you go in vain. Work your life for me, and I will pay you a monthly salary. This may be better for you than living without dignity at the hands of human traffickers."

Que Nu looked at Huo Qi thoughtfully, as if she believed her words.

"Since you are with me now, today is your day of rebirth, so forget about the name Que Nu in the future. I thought of a name for you, and it's called Que Li. Do you still like it?"

Quenu tilted his head, a flash of light flashing through his long ice-blue eyes.

Seeing that he was silent, Huo Qi added, "I know that you must have suffered a lot at the hawker's shop in the past. From now on, don't think of yourself as a human slave anymore. You are a living person, just like us." ,Can you understand?"

In fact, this is also the real intention of Huo Qi to change the name of Que Nu to Que Li.

Walking through the Palace of Hades, although Huo Qi's heart has already been forged into an iron wall, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. After all, she is Huo Ruhai's daughter, and the character rooted in her bones still cannot be abandoned.The reason why she bought Que Nu was, on the one hand, to destroy the Yuan family's plan, and on the other hand, it was also because she was moved with compassion.

In the last life, Que Nu wandered from West Street to Yuan Xianzhi's hands, and was reduced to a pet worse than an actor for half his life.Seeing that he refused to invite favors in front of the peddlers, one can see the torment in his heart after entering the palace.

In her eyes, the bird slave is not a pet, but a living person, an innocent and intelligent person.Leaving means to leave the sorrow of the past and welcome the hope of the future, which is also her hope for Que Nu.

Quenu seemed not to have expected Huo Qi to say such words, and felt something strange in his heart. It was the first time in his life that he felt like this, as if a butterfly was dancing in his stomach.

His expression was still so cowardly, he just nodded blankly: "Que Li, this name is very nice."

As soon as the words fell, there was an untimely "cuckoo" sound, and a blush crept across Que Li's face.

When Huo Qi heard this voice, she smiled softly. Seeing that she had almost finished speaking, she turned to tell Lingfeng: "I think Tingyu has almost tidied up the house. Take Quenu over and prepare some good food for him." Meals.”

Hearing the wind and listening to the order, he led Que Nu out of the house in two or three steps.

In the blink of an eye, there was only one quiet room left in the main house of Qiju.

Huo Qi suppressed his smile and looked at the ashes in the incense burner. The gentleness in his phoenix eyes was replaced by a look of chilling.

Huo Xian's return date is coming soon.

Her intuition told her that the death of Huo Xian in the previous life must have been written by the Marquis of Zhenyuan.Otherwise, how could those two idiots of Erfang have the courage and power to murder Huo Xian?

If it is as she expected, then when Huo Xian returns in this life, the quarrel behind Ningguo Duke's Mansion and Zhenyuan Hou's Mansion will probably come to the fore.She knew very well that the two families were family friends on the surface, but enemies behind them.Behind the gentle face of the Zhenyuan Hou Mansion, there is a dirty heart hidden.

Now, everything is ready for Cui Xin, and the bird slave is also in her hands.In this life, she will dig out the heart with her own hands and use the blood of the entire Yuan family to sacrifice the Ningguo Duke's mansion that died in the previous life.

The day Huo Xian returns is the beginning.
