Qingqiu is difficult

"Hahaha, you kid," the old servant laughed and said, "How could you, a stable boy, commit such a crime as him! Do you know what crime he committed?"

Xin Yi poured tea and said respectfully: "No wonder you are a gentleman and we are students. You always know what we don't know."

The old man laughed loudly: "He is not from our Yue Kingdom. It is said that he came from the east, but somehow he offended the monarch. The monarch was kind and decided to let him go. Unexpectedly, he just left the city gate. I met our Duke, and the Duke knew that the monarch actually hated him to the core, but he only attacked him because of his bad status, so he caught him here and left him to fend for himself."

Lu Xinyi put away the water bag and frowned: "Isn't it Qingqiu to the east? How could someone from Qingqiu offend our monarch? And let the monarch hate him so much?"

At this point, the old man pointed to his mouth and said mysteriously: "Misfortune comes from the mouth. He is said to be a brave and good fighter. After killing many soldiers of the Moon Kingdom, he did not stop and said cruel words. , offended the monarch!"

Lu Xinyi nodded, dazed for a moment, then smiled and said to his old servant: "That's right, trouble comes from the mouth, he should just shut up when he gets an advantage."

The two of them mowed the grass from late afternoon to dusk, cutting a cart full of grass, and then drove back.

That night, Lu Xinyi came to the stable again with medicine and hot water, came to the young man's side, wiped his body, and asked:

"You are from Jingguo, right?"

The young man remained silent until the medicine was ready. Lu Xinyi asked again: "You are from Qingqiu, but Qingqiu people will not kill the enemy for Jingguo. The fact that you kill the enemy for Jingguo proves that you are He is of Jingguo bloodline and then lived in Qingqiu, right?"

The boy covered himself with clothes, turned his head away, and slept on the straw again.

On the third day, Xin Yi not only brought medicine, but also some food that he had saved. The young man seemed to have not eaten for a long time. He held the food in both hands and stuffed it into his mouth without paying attention. Choking, Lu Xinyi immediately handed over the water cup again. The boy was about to grab it to drink, but unexpectedly, Xinyi pulled the cup back and said:

"I know you understand. If you can't tell, you can just nod, right? Tell me, are you from Jingguo? Tell me, and I'll give you water."

The young man turned away and pinched his neck to push the food down. Seeing that the other person would rather choke than drink water, Lu Xinyi couldn't bear it, so he handed over the water. Unexpectedly, the boy gave him a handful of water. He opened the water glass, swallowed the food raw, and then curled up into a ball in pain while holding his stomach.

Lu Xinyi hurriedly patted him on the back: "Okay, if you don't want to say it, I won't force you! If you don't say it, I will give you water, okay?"

As she spoke, she poured another cup of hot water, gave the boy a drink, and then applied medicine to the boy. The two of them said nothing more.

A month passed. After receiving the monthly payment, Lu Xinyi bought some daily necessities and went back. In addition to ointments for treating trauma, she also bought food and some medicinal herbs for recuperation. In addition, she also bought Read a few books - this job is quite leisurely. After working hard every day, there is still some spare time to kill.

That night, she made some medicinal soup, sat down next to the young man, and said happily:

"I have to say that this Duke's Mansion is very grand. The monthly payment this month is much more than other places. Little mute, I will receive the monthly payment for another three months and then I will leave. By then, you will be alone. People should live well!"

The young man ate the pancake slowly while his eyes were fixed on the hem of her clothes.

After saying some rambling words, Lu Xinyi began to apply medicine to the boy. After a month of careful care, his injury was almost healed. After applying the medicine, Lu Xinyi sighed and said: "Little mute, you Want to go out?"

Hearing this, the little mute was overjoyed. He immediately put down the pancake in his hand, turned around and looked at her, his eyes shining. "The injuries in your body are almost healed now. You can barely survive if you go out now. However, the Duke's Mansion is heavily guarded against you. If you want to leave, there is only one way."

Looking at the expectant eyes of the little mute, Lu Xinyi couldn't bear it, but she made up her mind, looked at him firmly, and said the next words: "That is death."

The light in the little mute's eyes suddenly went out, but Lu Xinyi leaned into his ear again and whispered a few words. Then the little mute looked at her again, but his eyes were full of doubts and disbelief.

Lu Xinyi looked at him with a smile: "You must want to ask why I help you, right?"

The little mute nodded.

"Although you don't say it, I can tell that you are a citizen of Jingguo. You always like to stare at the corners of my clothes because there are snake patterns embroidered on the corners of my clothes. They are the people of Jingguo themselves. The blessing pattern, am I right?"

The little mute turned his head to the other side and looked at him, clearly acquiescing to this matter.

Lu Xinyi patted his shoulder: "I have always admired those who would rather fight to death than become slaves of the country. You understand this truth at a young age. I admire you, not to mention that I am also a Jingguo person, so this is The first reason why I want to save you.”

What about the second one?

The little mute turned back to look at her.

Lu Xinyi grabbed the little mute's hand and said with sincere eyes: "You are from the east, from Qingqiu. I want to ask you about someone. My husband Tu Shansong said he would go home to visit relatives, but he has not returned yet. I want to ask him After you go back, help me find out where my husband is and tell me, okay?"

At this point, Lu Xinyi lowered his head: "Others say he is dead. I have tried to persuade myself this way, but I still can't convince myself. I always feel that he just returned home, so he must still be alive, so I think Please, if you find him, even if it's a lonely grave, you must tell me where he is, okay..."

The young man nodded and looked at her questioningly.

Xin Yi wiped away his tears as if he had just woken up from a dream, and said with a smile: "You're laughing, I forgot to mention his name. He is from the Tushan family, and his only name is Song."

Hearing this, the young man was shocked. He sat up and looked at Xin Yi in disbelief. But then, as if he realized his identity at this time, he hurriedly turned his head away, covering his face and shaking continuously.

Lu Xinyi only thought that he was shocked because she looked young and had a husband, so she pretended to be relaxed and explained:

"Don't look at me. I look young, but I'm actually an adult! Well, if you haven't experienced it, you don't understand. I am a person who has come through the gate of hell. If I hadn't been reborn now, I wouldn't be alive now! "

As she said that, she looked at the bright moon in the sky and said to herself: "But whether he can find it or not depends on fate. He had no power in Qingqiu, but he finally got a foothold in Jingguo. Now Jingguo The country has fallen again, and he has no supporter. He thinks it will not be easy even if he is alive..."
