[Comprehensive] The leader's knot occurs in this life

Qi Chuang is five years older than me.

It was a coincidence that I met her. That year, there was a famine and war disasters. I fled with my parents, brothers and sisters.

On the 13th of fleeing famine, my youngest sister starved to death.

On the fifteenth day, my elder brother starved to death.

On the [-]th, my father also died.He saved everything he could eat, even a little water, for my mother and me.Before he died, he told my mother that if he cut off his wrist and drank his blood, he could survive for a few days.

At that time, my mother had no expression on her face, and her eyes were blank, so she silently followed suit.My father has become so thin that his bones are covered with skin, and he can't even bleed when he cuts it. My mother asked me to drink it, but I couldn't drink it.

Two days later, more and more people in the fleeing team had to change their children to eat.

Just as they were about to enter Dingzhou City, a group of Wacha troops happened to attack the city. The officers and soldiers defending the city immediately ordered the city gate to be closed. Pick it up and throw it out.

My mother and I lined up at the front and squeezed in before the officers and soldiers gave orders. My mother hugged me tremblingly and squeezed against the wall. We watched the city gate close before our eyes, and countless crying refugees were shut out. , and the Wacha man wielding a scimitar had already rushed over on his horse.

Thousands of miles away, long yellow sand, enduring hunger and pain, burying the bones of relatives along the way, how many days and nights have passed before arriving here, thinking that we will finally have a glimmer of life, but there is only a massacre waiting for us .

No one grieves for the dead. In temples, officers and soldiers drink and play dice in corridors. The dignitaries still sing and sing night and night. In the rivers and lakes, "chivalrous men" will draw swords and fight over a disagreement. Some of them have the right to , Some are rich, some are famous, they are the masters of this world.

They stand tall and have big aspirations, and people like us are just dust at their feet.

On the eighth day of No.60 fleeing famine, my mother died.

We beg on the side of the road to everyone passing by. There are many people like us on this street. There are ragged beggars sitting under the eaves of almost every shop, and we are just the two most inconspicuous of them.

A team of cavalry rushed into the busy city like the wind.The one in the front waved his whip and shouted loudly: "Go away! Go away!" There was a carriage guarding in the middle of the horse team, and blood dripped from time to time in the carriage. Later I heard that the man came from the famous Golden Sword in the martial arts world. The Wang family was injured by a master from the other faction during the martial arts competition. He was seriously injured and rushed to the hospital.

The horses overturned countless vendors along the way. My mother pushed me, but I couldn't dodge in time and was trampled to death.

Knowing that he had killed someone, the leader didn't even stop, and quickly disappeared at the end of the long street.No one was asking for justice for us. I guarded my mother's body all day, and the next morning, when I was about to meet the Jinyi Commander sent by the capital, the Laoxiang Army who patrolled the city came early, got up and shoveled the snow, A few more Taiping carts were brought in, and along the way, those beggars who died under the eaves of the shop were wrapped in straw mats and thrown to the incarnation field on the outskirts of the city.

I was less than seven years old at the time, holding the Taiping car tightly, kowtow, begging over and over again, rubbing my knees on the ground, being dragged for most of the street, ground to a bloody mess, after all, I still couldn't grab it.

That was the first time I lost everything.

Then, a hand pulled me up from the ground.

Standing beside me was the dark and dirty Qichuang. Like me, she fled from the famine and had already lost her last relative.But there were no tears in her eyes. She was older than me, and more clever and cunning than me. She was only 12 years old, but she understood early on that the world is a big icehouse, and you won’t be blinded by crying.

In the first one or two months, I would cry secretly at night, but as time passed, the tears disappeared.

We have no relatives, so we spontaneously rely on each other, wandering in the market during the day, stealing, robbing, cheating, doing everything, and curling up together in the ruined temple with all the doors and windows smashed at night. A rusty boning knife with a chipped edge and a curled blade, I sleep next to my pillow every day.

The ruined temple was originally the territory of another group of beggars. They saw that we were easy to bully, so they planned to drive us away, and wanted to make a move on Qi Chuang. On her arm, her eyes were bloodshot, and she waved a bloody knife, pointing at the men one by one, and said sharply, "Come on! Come on!"

No one dared to approach her again.

She survived like this, and later Qi Chuang was spotted by the old bustard of the brothel, she exchanged herself for two taels of silver, gave me one tael, and said to me: "A Yang, I'm leaving, I heard that I went inside , I can eat a bowl of meat porridge every day, I think it is very good. This is for you, you hide it, don’t be seen, buy what you want to eat, and come to me when you run out, don’t be afraid, we will never eat it again Don't be hungry anymore..."

That day, Xue Duozi fluttered like catkins, fascinating people's eyes. Qi Chuang washed her face clean, and she was wearing the faded red dress given to her by the bustard. The bustard left, and I watched her go from a distance. The faded red dress she was wearing was like a piece of dark blood, which gradually melted into the snow and was gradually covered by the snow again. The two of them turned a corner, I can't see it anymore.

It's been half a year, and Qi Chuang has been learning to play the piano and sing in the brothel. She is young, and the madam wants to wait for her to come to Kuishui and grow old before letting her pick up the guests.I'm still doing some nasty things, and sometimes Qi Chuang will join forces with me to steal the money bags of drunken clients.Until one day she finally lit the Cheng En Lantern, and sold her first night at a price of 20 taels to a Jianghu man, who was almost 40 years old, wearing silk, white soap boots, and a belt It's gold, and when you walk over it, your big round belly sticks out before your head.

The next day, she came to me with red eyes and told me a news.

"He is the steward of a big family. They are about to buy someone to take care of them. They can get a tael of silver and a bag of rice every month. I told him that I have a younger brother who is just right in age and very obedient. He said he would like to see you, ah Yang, you go. You can’t beg for a lifetime.” Qi Chuang looked into my eyes and said to me very seriously, “We all have to make a difference, A Yang, better days are yet to come.”

The client who bought Qi Chuang Chu Ye was Guan Shi Liu.

He didn't tell Qi Chuang the truth, the "big family" he talked about was actually the Sun Moon God Sect.

That brothel is also under the name of the god religion.It's just that none of us knew about it at the time.I know, and I don’t care, no matter what he teaches, it’s enough for us to survive, to be fed and clothed.

Then we didn't see each other for a long time.Life on Heimuya is not easy, it is even more cruel, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life. I am still the dust sticking to the feet of others.I remember very well that I was about the same age as Tong Baixiong's youngest son. He was annoyed and jealous every day because of his father and mother's favorite elder brother, and cried all day long, but I was still racking my brains for how to survive. I gradually understood that life It's unfair to come.

To climb up, to get more money and power, to trample all those people wantonly, I want them to be afraid of me, hate me, and kneel down to beg me!

With such an idea, the monthly silver earned by working as a handyman is not enough, so he will take advantage of the opportunity to go down the mountain once or twice a month, and join hands with Qi Chuang to set up a trap to deceive some men from other places.As soon as Qi Chuang has a suitable target, she will notify me. She will pretend to be a good girl behind the back of the old bustard, hook up with that man, and then go to the small inn to ask for a room, and then get the man drunk until the man wants to take her off. Clothes, I took the opportunity to rush in, pretending to be Qi Chuang's husband, and making a big fuss. In order to take care of their reputation, those men will always spend money to settle things down.

The money was used to bribe the stewards and guards, and his heart gradually became distorted, and he could no longer see himself clearly.

Since then, I have made one wrong step and wrong step, and sometimes I wonder whether I have lost more or gained more along the way. I have asked myself many times, but I have never had an answer in my heart.In my previous life, no matter how many wrong and evil things I did, I numbly thought, I am not wrong, this is not wrong, I am just trying to live.

It wasn't until I came to Dongfang that I realized that my life was not as good as that of a pig or a dog.

So he craves power even more.

In my previous life, Qi Chuang came to join me in my second year as chief executive.

At that time, she was no longer in the brothel. When I saw her, she was wearing a woman's bun, her face was haggard and pale, as if she had been ill for a long time.

I lost contact with her for many years, and the last news I got about her was that she was taken away by a rich businessman.

Later, she told me that the rich businessman already had a wife at home, so he didn't dare to take her home, so he built a house outside, and occasionally came to have fun with her without telling his wife.When she said this, there was no expression on her face. I think she didn't love the businessman. She said: "I didn't expect anything else. It's good to have a place to live. I thought it would be okay to live like this." good……"

She had a child and was pregnant for five months. The rich businessman's wife suddenly found out about her existence. She was an extremely aggressive woman who couldn't rub the sand in her eyes.Thinking about it now, maybe she came to me once at this time, but at this time in the previous life, I was just a little-known guard next to Dongfang, and the elders didn't know my existence at all, so she must have been blown away .

Three years later, she came to me again, and her child was dead.She didn't tell me what was going on, she just said that she was desperate, and hoped that I could keep her because of my childhood love.

But I can guess that her husband who didn't even give her a title must have chosen not to protect her. She failed to seek my asylum, and she had nowhere to go while she was pregnant with the child, so she had to choose to return to the merchant.She must have thought in her heart that he is the father of the child, he will always protect her, and for the sake of the child, he will always give her a place to stay.

After all, she was wrong.

I found a yard to put her in, and sent maids and servants to take care of her. I originally told the outside world that she was my older sister, but no one believed her.Liu Guanshi recognized Qi Chuang, so everyone knew that Qi Chuang used to be a prostitute, so no one would believe her anymore. Everyone regarded her as my concubine, but they didn't dare to say it outright because they were afraid that the leader would be angry. That's all.

Dongfang naturally knows it, he is extremely concerned about everything about me.I didn't know how to explain it to him, so he asked me right away, Brother Lian, is it because you are tired of me that you take a concubine?

I said no.

He said, Brother Lian, don't take a concubine and send her away, okay?

I said it wasn't my concubine, it was my sister.

Dongfang raised his eyes and looked at me for a while, then walked away with a sad look in his eyes, I knew he didn't believe me.

I have never touched Qichuang, not in my previous life, let alone in this life.

In the previous life, Qi Chuang died after only living in Heimuya for one year. Her health was so bad that the doctor invited said that this was the root cause of the arrhythmia during childbirth.

But she couldn't hold on, maybe after her child died, she became an empty shell.Before she died, she told me that when she was in the brothel, a poor scholar came to her every day and spent the money saved in the ration to listen to her singing and playing the piano, but he couldn't pay for the night, so he had to stay far away. Sit under the stage and listen to her singing, and leave after listening.Later, she was about to be redeemed by a businessman, and the scholar sold everything he could sell, but he still couldn't get together enough money to buy her, so he came here in the middle of the night, saying he wanted to elope with her.

Qi Chuang laughed when he said this: "Do you think he is stupid? If he is like me, I said, if you can get the money together, I will go with you. In fact, I lied to him, even if he gets the money together I won’t go with him even if I don’t have money. How can I go with him because he has nothing? But he said, let me wait for him.”

On the day Qichuang was about to be taken away by the merchant, the scholar also came, his legs were lame, and he put the bloody pieces of silver in front of Qichuang, wanting to hold her hand, and said softly, "I'll bring you the money." Alright, let's go."

Qi Chuang stared at the bed curtain with two dull eyes: "How do you think he got it all together? He has nothing left, and his legs will never get better again..." She didn't even have a question about this. Answer.

Then she was silent for a long time, and called me weakly: "Ayang..."

"You see, a person's life is so short. If you don't cherish it, you will miss it. I have always regretted it. If I could have agreed to elope with him at that time, it would be fine. I might live in poverty with him, but Can support each other... Sometimes, in my dreams, I dreamed that I left with him, and I lit the lamp every day to wait for him to come back at home, full of joy. At that time, I really hope that the sun will never rise, and neither will my dreams. Wake up... You see, people don't know their own hearts until they are irreparable..."

Suddenly big tears rolled out of her eyes, and she burst into tears, "It would be fine if I went with him at that time, it would be fine if I went with him, actually I don't want anything, what do I want I don't want any more, I want to go with him, I want to go with him..."

I couldn't say anything, I could only hold her hand silently.

Finally, she said to me: "Ayang, don't be like me, it's too late to regret it."

My eyes widened in astonishment, she had already died.

Dongfang and I walked slowly towards the side hall.I told him about Qi Chuang on the way, and only talked about the time when I was dependent on her when I was young. I carefully observed his expression and whispered: "Without her, I might not have lived to this day, Dongfang, I would never feel that way about her..."

Dongfang remained silent, and I felt more and more uncertain, so I went to shake his hand anxiously.

"Dongfang, you trust me, you trust me..." At this time, my mouth became clumsy, and I just said this sentence upside down.

Dongfang glanced at me: "I can't just listen to your side."

After speaking, he stepped over the threshold.

I saw Qi Chuang standing there in a baggy dress, and then her eyes lit up in surprise, she flicked her handkerchief excitedly, and rushed towards me with her stomach protected, and said delicately, "Mr.—"

Dongfang's face darkened.

I was shocked, and quickly moved away: "Ah Qi, don't talk nonsense!"

Qi Chuang stopped her feet, sat down on the chair next to her, pressed her handkerchief to her face and groaned: "Master! You don't want my family anymore, and don't you want your flesh and blood? Mr. Mr., tell my family Have you forgotten all those vows! We made a marriage alliance in front of the emperor, you can't abandon me—"

I hurried over to cover her mouth, gritted my teeth in her ear and said, "Ah Qi, what are you singing! You want to kill me!"

Qi Chuang stopped crying, winked at Elder Qin, and whispered: "The old man gave me 50 taels, if you give more than him, I will change my words, okay?"

"50 taels!" I was shocked, "You sold me for 50 taels?!"

Qi Chuang said: "It's not bad if you can be worth 50 taels."

"..."

I glanced at Dongfang, his face calmed down, and I felt proud, ouch, my teacher's hearing is good.

So I glared at Qi Chuang: "Okay you! Don't even try to take a copper coin from me!"

Qi Chuang was angry, and without saying a word, she started crying again: "My God, someone abandoned their wives and children, Yang Lianting, you are not a human being, is there any reason for you... Now that you are rich and powerful, just Don't be a bad wife, after so many years, I finally found you, woo woo woo..."

I:"……"

In fact, I wanted to find Qi Chuang a long time ago, but the timing of my rebirth was wrong. When I came back after my rebirth, she had already been redeemed by a wealthy businessman and left Dingzhou.I couldn't find her, and I kept pressing Dongfang's affairs in my heart. The appearance of Ren Woxing and the successive incidents later made me even more flustered, and I completely forgot to order someone to inquire about her whereabouts.

But it's not too late, I think, it's not too late.

So I quietly went over and tugged on Dongfang's sleeve, swallowed my saliva: "Dongfang, can you...leave her in Heimuya?"

"Huh?" Dongfang looked at me sideways, staring at me with dark eyes for a while, then suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Yang Lianting, it is not impossible to ask me to agree, but you have to promise me one thing."

I was overjoyed and blurted out: "Don't say one thing, a hundred things will do! I am willing to do anything!"

Dongfang hooked his lips, and his dark eyes flickered: "Is that so..."

I looked at Dongfang's smile and suddenly shivered.

Why do I have an ominous premonition...
