The Misty Rain in the Republic of China: The wind and rain are thick and rouge chaos

Chapter 2 Little children, meeting for the first time (2)
The handsome man looked up at her, and the more he looked at her, the more confused he became - just now he thought this guy was a little girl, but now that he thinks about it again, will the little girl live alone without a mother?How dare the little girl go to the house to save a strange man?

"How old are you?" The handsome man felt that the situation was not good, and he might have caught a big girl with him just now.

Moxi hesitated for a moment, then calmly replied: "Seventeen."

The handsome man asked again: "Is there really no one in your house?"

Moxi put down the oil lamp, stared down at his legs and said, "Whether there is anyone is none of your business. I kindly saved your life. If you dare to have evil thoughts with me, I will smash your dog's brains out!" "

The handsome man frowned and smiled, feeling anxious, because he felt that the scene in front of him was too strange - he was chased and killed on the street, but turned into an alley and climbed over a high wall, and suddenly met a big and small Girl.This girl didn't even know her own name, yet she dared to lead herself into such an empty room. This should be a story in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio.

At this time, Moxi suddenly took the initiative, picked up the big teapot on the table, and poured a glass of cold water for the handsome man.Feng Yao has only been a guest in her room all year round, and a new guy came tonight without warning, which made her feel like she was waiting for a big show to start. Although she didn't know what the story would be after the start, just waiting was enough. It had already made her throb.The throbbing reached a certain level, and she almost became hostile to the handsome man, because the handsome man made her a little confused at the moment, and Moxi has lived for 15 years and has never been messed up.

"What happened to your feet?" she asked again.

The handsome man took a sip of cold water from the thick porcelain cup.This time his breathing was even and his mind was settled. He lowered his head and lifted his trousers. Through a layer of foreign gauze socks, he pinched his left ankle. It was because he didn’t stand firmly when he landed and sprained his tendons.”

Moxi replied in a very calm voice: "It's good that your bones are fine, otherwise I have no place to find a doctor for you." Then she asked with a bad expression: "When are you leaving?"

The handsome man smiled wryly, "It's definitely not going to happen tonight. Girl, can you take me in for a night?"

Moxi didn't intend to let him take the risk of going out. At the age of 15, she also knows the difference between men and women—she knows many etiquette rules, and Feng Yao will teach her what she doesn't know, but she knows what she knows, and she doesn't take it to heart.Bending down to blow out the oil lamp on the table, she turned around and went to the window to close her temporary curtains, and then returned to the handsome man, she said: "Get up, let's go into the back room and stay there. There is a kang in the back room, the kang It's comfortable to sit on."

The beautiful man was too surprised, so he didn't say a word, stood up following Moxi's command, and made a golden rooster independence. At the same time, he thought to himself: "Is this girl short-hearted or something? This girl is too courageous! What the hell is going on? Where is it? From the courtyard wall, it should be a big house, why did you only meet such a girl like a wild fox when you came in?"

While secretly dialing the abacus, the handsome man jumped into the back room with one foot.In the dark, he took off his shoes and climbed onto the kang, where he got a thin quilt.Wrapped in a thin quilt, he snuggled up to the corner of the Kang, cleared his throat, and then said, "My surname is Wan, and my first name is Wan Jiagui. I am the head of the No.18 Mixed Brigade Second Regiment. Last week I represented our brigade The chief came to Beijing to negotiate with Commander Chen, but I didn’t expect that the surname Chen suddenly turned against me and wanted to kill me. I didn’t have many people with me, so I wasn’t an opponent, otherwise I wouldn’t have escaped so embarrassingly.”

Moxi curled up around a mattress in the other corner of the Liangkang, surrounded tightly, in a defensive posture. She didn't know whether she was defending Wan Jiagui or herself—once she got wild, she would often kill her. I was also startled.

"Are you the officer?" She heard her own voice sounding in the quiet night, the voice was very soft and soft.She didn't know that she also had such a tender voice, "Are you the kind of big military officer who rides in the car every day and has soldiers standing outside the car door?"

Wan Jiagui hesitated for a moment, then replied, "Let's just say so!"

Then he asked, "What about you?"

Moxi huddled in the mattress, with her toes curled up and her fingers clenched, her whole body was full of tension and joy, "My name is Moxi. Jasmine's Jas, I like Xi."

Wan Jiagui immediately asked, "Do you like jasmine?"

Moxi shook her head in the dark, "I don't like it, I like big flowers, red ones."

Wan Jiagui was still childish when she heard her talk, so he took the opportunity to ask the question he was most concerned about: "Is this your home?"

Moxi thought about it this time, and the result of her thinking was this answer: "When my father was alive, the inside and outside of the house were all my home; when my father is gone, the inside is my home, and the outside is my second uncle and second son." Aunt's house."

When Wan Jiagui heard it, he immediately understood everything.The courtyard with high walls is correct, I didn't make a mistake in my judgment, I just jumped into a house by mistake.And the wild girl on the side of the Liangkang turned out to be a pitiful little girl.

The longer Wan Jiagui sat on the Liangkang, the more anxious he felt, because he found that his left ankle was getting more and more painful, and it was already swollen and out of shape.He is eager to get out of the city, the longer he stays in the city, the more dangerous he will be, especially hiding in this house, even if reinforcements come from outside the city, there is no way to find him and take him away.

"Is there any medicine that can cure bruises?" He asked Moxi in a low voice, "I seem to be seriously injured right now."

The black shadow on the other side of the kang moved rustlingly, it was Moxi who used a trick to escape the shell, and crawled out from her pile of mattresses.Wan Jiagui had been sitting in the dark for a long time, and the moon outside the window was huge, so he could already see the situation in the room clearly, especially Moxi who was approaching in front of him.Moxi, who was on all fours, with two half-length braids hanging down, squatted up in front of Wan Jiagui. Wan Jiagui looked down and saw that Moxi was wearing socks on her feet. The socks were old socks, and they were quite good. Old socks with a row of small floral prints on the instep and a rough patch on the big toe.

Moxi squatted in the night, thinking that Wan Jiagui couldn't see the big patch on her feet, so she was quite confident.Reaching out to lift the quilt, she put her hand towards the other's ankle, "Let me see."

Wan Jiagui was startled, and quickly shrank back, "Don't."

Moxi raised her head inexplicably, "Don't?"

Wan Jiagui replied in the dark: "Men and women are different, you are seventeen, how can I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Mo Xi rushed to open his mouth like an arrow in the back, "You know that men and women are different, but you still come into my room?"

When the woman said this, the man immediately felt aggrieved, "Before I entered the door, I thought you were a little girl!"

Moxi is most sensitive to words like "girl" and "miss", because she thinks she should be a lady, but she has become a girl, and she is a girl in the cold palace.She glared at Wan Jiagui viciously, and said through her teeth, "A girl is a girl, why do you want to add a film? You can do whatever you like, no one wants to see your stinky feet!"

Wan Jiagui blinked his eyes in the dark, thinking to himself that he is so aggressive at only seventeen, should he eat people at twenty-seven?I don't want such a girl, no matter how good-looking she is.

Moxi returned to her original position, and Wan Jiagui and Wan Jiagui resumed the pattern of one pile on the left and one pile on the right.Her mouth is not forgiving, but her heart is lively and soft.Because Wan Jiagui is a foreigner, there is no past and no future with her, she is a brand new character who descended from the sky, and is more beautiful than the niche on the stage.She likes new and colorful things, the newer the better, the more colorful the better.

The group on the left and the group on the right were silent for a while, and finally Wan Jiagui groaned and said again, "I said, Miss Moxi, is there really no cure?"

Moxi crawled out of the mattress again, crawled up in front of Wan Jiagui and squatted up, she said with a cold face, "Stick out your stinky feet!"

Wan Jiagui's spirits were weakened by the pain, and he couldn't care less about the other etiquette between men and women.Lifting the quilt towards Moxi, he stretched out a long, strong leg, gritted his teeth to bear the pain, and snorted from his nose: "I'm offended."

Moxi stepped back, trying to take off Wan Jiagui's sock, but the sock was stretched tight on her swollen ankle, and it was not easy to take it off.Pulling out a pair of small scissors from the sewing basket, Mo Xi cut off Wan Jiagui's left sock with a clean hand.

Wan Jiagui's bare feet are white and clean, not smelly feet.Moxi remembered that Qiu Ba didn't seem to be so particular about hygiene, but Wan Jiagui was a great officer, and a great officer must be different from a soldier.

Seeing that Wan Jiagui's left ankle was red and swollen, Moxi turned her head and said to him, "Don't move around, I'll go buy medicine for you at dawn. Your foot is fine, just wipe it with some medicinal wine. "

Wan Jiagui asked in a low voice: "I won't leave after dawn—is that okay?"

Mo Xi raised her face, "Then you go!"

Wan Jiagui glanced at her, she had never seen such a decent girl who dared to speak and act, but if she was not serious, this deep house compound was not a place where it was not serious.

He was honest without saying a word, which caused Moxi to suspect that he had said something wrong, and almost felt guilty.Lowering her head embarrassingly, she said softly, "I'm not really letting you go."

When Wan Jiagui heard her talking childishly again, she couldn't help but want to laugh, "You let me go, and I can't go either. Miss Moxi, thank you for your kindness, you saved my life today, wait until I pass This is a difficult time, and there will be a day to repay your kindness in the future."

Mo Xi slowly retreated back into the corner, her heart pounding in her chest.To her, the word "repay" always meant real gold and silver, but at this moment she didn't think about gold and silver, because she had no purpose in saving Wan Jiagui, it was purely to save.For her, it was a surprise for Wan Jiagui to say a good word to her.

Surrounding herself with the quilt again, Moxi lowered her head and buried her face in the quilt. Although she didn't eat the mutton head, she felt very happy in her heart.

Moxi didn't sleep almost all night, and only dozed off in the early hours of the morning.Falling asleep, falling asleep, she suddenly opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she found that the sky outside the window was turning blue, and it was about to brighten.

She raised her hand and rubbed her eyes, then turned her gaze to Wan Jiagui who was opposite.Wan Jiagui curled up, sleeping on his side, sleeping deeply, even snoring slightly.Pushing away the mattress on her body and sitting upright, Moxi stared at Wan Jiagui carefully, the more she looked, the more curious she became, as if seeing a man for the first time in her life, almost as startled as seeing a ghost.Wan Jiagui's body was tall and tall, but his face was handsome and stylish, and he didn't look stupid when he slept like this. His sharp and thin lips were tightly closed. He lowered his head slightly and looked over from Moxi's angle. , looking at him more and more, his sword eyebrows are drawn into the temples, and the bridge of his nose is straight and straight, almost like a foreign hairy boy.

The time of this night was extraordinary. Moxi lived for 15 years and did not really understand the difference between men and women until today.Once she understood, she immediately shrank her feet back, because the socks on her feet were patched, and she couldn't make a move in front of Wan Jiagui.Fortunately, Wan Jiagui was still sleeping, so she probably didn't notice the mended and torn socks on her feet.

Moxi tiptoed down the kang, ran outside with her cloth shoes on her hands, ignored the others, opened the box first, and picked out a pair of new socks from inside - she was in the Bai family, isolated from everyone, and would never have oil or water Lao, sometimes life is not as good as that of an old lady, but occasionally I will get some new goodies, such as this pair of thin white silky socks in the box.The socks were secretly given to her by Fengyao—I dare not give them to her publicly, Second Grandma Bai would scold Fengyao if she gave them to her.Second Mistress Bai's strategy for Moxi is to ignore her own and force her to fend for herself.Otherwise, there is really no other way. The second grandma Bai is the one who cares about her family background. If she admits that Moxi is a member of the Bai family, it is tantamount to letting her admit that the world has turned upside down and the sun and the moon are dark.In all fairness, Moxi never provoked her, and she didn't even show up in front of her a few times throughout the year, but Second Mistress Bai just annoyed her.Not to mention seeing, she would frown even mentioning it, because she was an illegitimate daughter brought to her door by a whore, no matter which dynasty or generation she was placed in, she would be an unworthy child.Especially since she is still Uncle Bai's illegitimate daughter. When Uncle Bai and Mrs. Bai were in charge of the family together, Second Master Bai and his wife were often restrained.Just for this, Second Grandma Bai also wished to wipe away all traces of Uncle Bai.Do not ask for anything else, just ask for an elation.

Second Grandma Bai's thoughts, even though she didn't say anything herself, others could see all sorts of things by observing her words and expressions.Moxi didn't have the opportunity to observe words and demeanor, but she usually opened a pair of fox eyes and raised two rabbit ears, and walked around the wall of the white house without making a sound, and she could grasp the situation at home five or six points.Now she is still young, not ready to start her own family, so in order to have three full meals a day, she hides in the cold palace wisely, resolutely refraining from doing anything out of the ordinary—or, in other words, doing it ignorantly.

She wore a pair of lace-up blue cloth shoes, which would reveal the top of her feet when she stretched her feet, so she kept these silk socks for a long time, but she was still afraid to wear them and was not willing to wear them.Today she went all out and quickly took off her old socks and replaced them with new ones.After changing and putting on her shoes neatly, she took an enamel cup from the window sill, gently picked up the large kettle, and poured half a glass of water.There was a toothbrush in the cup, and a box of tooth powder on the windowsill.She opened the door and went out, brushing her teeth silently. Feng Yao taught her to brush her teeth. The good teeth are white after a few days of brushing.Mo loves beauty and knows how beautiful White Fang is.For the sake of making her tiny white teeth shine, let alone let her brush her teeth, let her eat the tooth powder and she will do it.

After brushing her tooth and wiping her face with a wet towel, the two braids were untied and rebraided neatly. Moxi felt that her appearance was good enough for people, so she walked back to the bedroom without taking off her shoes, and climbed onto the kang directly. Go push Wan Jiagui.

"Hey." She called out in a small voice, "Wake up, it's almost dawn!"

Wan Jiagui immediately opened his eyes, straightened up and sat up, and asked blankly, "What's the matter?"

He got up so fast that he almost bumped into Moxi's forehead.Moxi backed away, not as knowledgeable as he was, and went straight to the point, "I'll jump off the wall now and go to the pharmacy at the street corner to buy medicine for you. Come down and wait for me behind the room."

Wan Jiagui moved to the side of the kang, confused, "Do you have to jump over the wall to buy medicine?"

Before he finished speaking, he saw that Moxi bent down and put a leather shoe on his right foot, while his left foot was swollen and deformed, and could only be temporarily exposed.Moxi put on the old posture, supported Wan Jiagui with all her strength, and helped him go out all the way—although no one would come to her cold palace, but there was a contingency in everything, just in case this morning Just come?
But the back of the house must be safe, the back of the house is the wall, and the outside of the wall is still the wall. If Mo Xi is not there, he will go out, and no one will look for the back of the house.

Within a moment, Wan Jiagui was already sitting on the ground leaning against the back wall of the house, with his shoulders hunched and his arms folded. He was shivering from the cool morning wind.A pair of eyes stared at the back of Moxi flying over the eaves and walls, and he felt that his eyes had been opened this time.It may be true that this girl claimed to be seventeen, but judging by her skill and courage, she must be at least 27 and above, and she is also a 27 who has gone through a lot of wind and rain.No matter how generous the girl's family is, it's not her way of being generous.

At the same time, Moxi had already made her way to the side street smoothly.This is a very secluded street. It is still bright today, so there is no one on the street, but the guys in the trading shop should be awake. If customers come to knock on the door to buy medicine, the drugstore should also be able to Someone opened the door.

Moxi made up her mind, and ran towards the intersection, covering her pockets with her hands while running.In the pocket is all her savings, which can buy her a lot of snacks or a bottle of medicinal wine.

However, she had just stopped halfway, and at the same time, a large carriage turned around at the intersection in front of her, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a slick head protruded obliquely, "Moxi ?”

Moxi was startled, but at the same time, without changing her face, she called out, "Brother."

The so-called eldest brother in the car is Bai Pengkun, the son of Bai Erye.Fengyao is two years older than Moxi, and Pengkun is one year older than Fengyao, which makes her eighteen years old this year.Second Grandma Bai favors sons over daughters, and she treats her daughter sternly and rudely, but treats her son responsively. Peng Kun is so used to drinking and drinking, and keeps pace with his father Bai Erye, becoming the two major sources of money for the Bai family.Second Grandma Bai ran the family diligently and frugally, and the few extra money she got were all thrown into the entertainment field by the father and son.

Pengkun never talked to Moxi before, and he couldn't even remember that there was such a person at home. It wasn't until this year's Chinese New Year that he met Moxi who was walking out hand in hand with Fengyao at the side door. A little beauty in a thorn hairpin sarong.As for the fact that Moxi was his cousin, he didn't think about it at all.

At this time, I unexpectedly met Moxi on the street. Peng Kun ordered the coachman to rein in the horse, then jumped off and asked with a smile, "Where are you going early in the morning?"

Moxi was still very calm, and even smiled a little, "I'll go to the pharmacy."

Pengkun opened his eyes wide and leaned towards her, making a concerned gesture, "Are you sick?"

Mo Xi smiled, but said nothing.

Peng Kun used his eyes to sneak Moxi from head to toe again, but he didn't see that she was sick. At this moment, Moxi stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Brother, don't ask."

Peng Kun suddenly realized, thinking that this girl is getting bigger and bigger, and the woman has some illnesses, so it is naturally inconvenient to tell the man clearly.Turning his head to stare at Mo Xi with a smile on his face, he suddenly asked, "Do you have money?"

Mo Xi nodded to him, and then walked away quickly.Feng Yao is beautiful, and Peng Kun is born with red lips and white teeth, and he is also a handsome young man with fine skin and tender flesh.But Mo Xi only had disdain for Peng Kun at the moment, and while walking, she thought secretly: "There is no way to compare with him, it is far behind."
