Fuji [Four Beauties]

Hearing this name, Song Ci was a little surprised, and she looked at the woman carefully for a while.The woman looked about 20 years old, her appearance was plain, and her clothes looked messy, but she gave off a calm and simple feeling.

Song Ci had a good impression of Cai Wenji before, and had heard some stories about her.This is a talented woman with great talent and ill-fated fate.Her father was a senior official in the court and a celebrity of a generation.She married her husband, who was also a celebrity, and the husband and wife got along very well. She didn't want her husband to die a few years after marriage.Later, she was kidnapped by the Huns and lived in the territory of the Huns for many years before being redeemed by Cao Cao with gold and silk.

It is said that Cao Cao paid a lot of money to find classics, but many of them were lost due to repeated wars.When Cai Wenji heard about this, she silently wrote thousands of volumes out of her own memory.In addition to the story of Wen Ji's return to Han, "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia" is also closely related to Cai Wenji.Cai Wenji lived in the Huns for many years, missed her hometown day and night, and wrote the tune "Eighteen Beats of Hu Jia", but unfortunately this tune was lost in later generations.

Speaking of it, Cai Wenji can be regarded as a rare talented woman in history who can pass on her name to future generations and is knowledgeable and talented.Unexpectedly, such a character was accidentally rescued by Song Ci.

"Just call me Song Ci, it's just a matter of raising your hands, there's no need to do this. How can you be alone in this kind of place? It's not a peaceful time now."

"The concubine and her husband went home to visit their old mother, but they encountered bandits on the way and accidentally got separated. The concubine was looking for her husband everywhere, but she didn't expect to encounter bandits on the way, and was lucky to be rescued by a benefactor."

"I got separated, have you agreed on how to find each other if you get separated?"

"There is no agreement. However, I guess that if my husband can't find me, he will definitely look around."

"How long have you been separated, and where did you get separated?"

"The concubine and my husband have been separated for seven or eight days. We were separated in the Lantian area. These days, I have searched around Lantian for a long time, but I still haven't heard any news."

"Then where are you going to find it next?"

"I want to go to the Wuguan area. I heard that there are officers and soldiers there, and there may be news of the vicinity. I don't know where the benefactor will go?"

"I'm going to lead Jingzhou, and I happen to be heading south."

"There is such a coincidence, can my benefactor take me for a ride?"

"That's not a problem, but first let me declare that I don't know the way very well, and it's very likely that I need you to lead the way. If you don't know the way, then we can only go by luck."

"Don't worry, benefactor, I know the way."

"That would be the best."

So, Song Ci accidentally formed a team with Cai Wenji and continued south.

After someone led the way, Song Ci's speed became much faster, and he would no longer run around.Although Cai Wenji looked like a weak woman, she was also very capable of enduring hardships.I traveled long distances over mountains and ridges along the way, and I didn't see her complaining.Song Ci still likes this kind of personality, and she is not the kind of person who complains all day long. In this respect, the two are very compatible.

After walking for a few days, I gradually came to the vicinity of Wuguan.

After arriving at a town that didn't look particularly big, the two decided to go into the city to have a look.Entering the city, I saw smiles on the faces of all the people in the city.The celebration was still being held in a crowded place, which was quite similar to the atmosphere in Chang'an City some time ago.

After asking the people in the city, they knew the reason.It turned out that this small town was occupied by a group of rogues a few days ago.Those bandits burned, killed, looted and bullied the people wantonly in the city.The people couldn't stand it, so they had to prepare to flee with their families.

At this moment, a gentleman like a fairy came from outside the city.With only a few words, he abandoned the city and fled what the bandits said.Even the looted money and food were abandoned.As a result, the common people were able to preserve their homes and not have to flee everywhere, and everyone was overjoyed.In order to express their gratitude to that gentleman, the people held a celebration ceremony in the city.Song Ci and the others came just in time to catch up with their celebration.

After listening to passers-by's enthusiastic answers, Song Ci was very interested in the person who was praised by the people like a god, and walked towards the place where the crowd gathered.Cai Wenji also followed her to watch the fun.

When she arrived at the place with the most people, Song Ci looked around, but she didn't see anyone who looked different. She was a little disappointed.After getting along for a few days, Cai Wenji already had some understanding of Song Ci's temperament.Seeing her like this, he opened his mouth and said: "Thinking about it, that gentleman must be an indifferent gentleman who doesn't care about fame and fortune. Maybe he has already left here."

"Forget it, if you didn't see it, you didn't see it. Anyway, it's not a big deal."

After watching the excitement for a while, the two inquired about the news in the city.

During times of war, the officials and soldiers in the city had already run away cleanly.Only some old and weak women and children were left to guard their homes in the city, which is why the gangsters dared to be so rampant.After asking around, Cai Wenji got a very bad news.When the bandits occupied this small town, they killed many passers-by and looted their belongings.After getting the money, they threw the corpse under the east wall as a warning to others.Among them is someone who looks a lot like Mr. Cai Wenji.

Hearing this very bad news, Cai Wenji's face turned pale, and Song Ci hurriedly comforted in a low voice: "It's just similar, not necessarily, let's go and see now."

Soon, the two came to the place where the corpses were piled up.The corpse had already begun to stink, and the stench could be smelled far away.There are piles of dead bodies here, the scene is very terrifying, and the common people dare not approach.Strangely, those corpses were placed there one by one, arranged very neatly.What's even more strange is that the corpse was covered with a straw mat, and it didn't look like it had been abandoned at will.

Cai Wenji looked over one by one, and the faces of some corpses were already blurred, and they couldn't see their faces clearly at all.You can only judge whether it is your husband from the clothes on the dead body.Row after row, I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see my husband. Hope was rekindled in Cai Wenji's heart.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. After watching two more rows, Cai Wenji saw her husband's face.

Cai Wenji threw herself on the corpse and cried loudly.Song Ci came behind her, not knowing how to comfort her, so he could only squat beside her silently.The cries that gave birth to her sounded very desolate, and some people in the city were also attracted by the cries and stood watching from a distance.

Probably because of seeing too many dead people, although those common people sympathized with Cai Wenji, they didn't have much emotion.Maybe one day they will become like that.I don't know if there will be relatives who will find their own bones and cry for themselves.Living in troubled times, trying to save one's life is a very difficult thing.

Cai Wenji cried for a long time.Song Ci, who had never been very good at comforting others, watched from the sidelines, helpless and helpless.

After an unknown amount of time, a few people came towards them pushing a tattered cart.After those people came over, they began to move the corpses onto the cart one by one.After going back and forth like this, they soon arrived in front of Song Ci and the others.Seeing Cai Wenji crying so heartbroken, those who carried the corpses could not disturb them, so they began to carry the surrounding corpses.

When there was only that one corpse left, those people had no choice but to come forward to persuade them.Those people are all native farmers, and they don't know what to say about the dead, mourning and changing.They could only stammer and say something, telling Cai Wenji not to be too sad and take care of what she said.

Cai Wenji still refused to let go of her husband, and wept to herself.It's not easy for those people to go forward and grab it hard, so the two sides are deadlocked.Seeing this situation, Song Ci sighed.

She took a step forward, lightly pressed Cai Wenji's shoulder, and whispered: "He has been lying here for a long time, let him die in peace."

Cai Wenji looked up at her, her eyes were swollen beyond recognition.

"I think he would be very sad if he saw you like this."

Hearing this, Cai Wenji immediately burst into tears.Song Ci gently hugged her into his arms, patted her on the shoulder, and comforted her silently.

Seeing this situation, the eye sockets of those people couldn't help getting wet.They gently loaded Cai Wenji's husband onto the cart and walked out of the city.

Outside the small city, there is a large pit under a hill.All the corpses that were transported out before were placed here, and a person was sitting in front of the pit, writing something with a pen.

"Mr. Xun, the shipment is over."

"Thank you for your hard work, please fill in the soil."

Song Ci helped Cai Wenji to the big pit.Hearing this, Cai Wenji walked over to the man.

The people who moved the corpses saw Cai Wenji approaching and said to her, "Don't worry, we will definitely bury your husband properly. Mr. Xun is writing sacrifices for these poor people, and we have carved the tombstones. It is also Mr. Xun." written."

Hearing this, Cai Wenji managed to hold back her tears, and saluted the person pointed at by everyone: "Thank you, Mr. Xun. I am here to thank you for your great kindness on behalf of my deceased husband."

The person who was burying his head in the book raised his head and looked at Song Ci and the others.The man had an outstanding appearance and elegant demeanor, and his temperament was very extraordinary.Seeing that it was two women who came, the man only raised his head, then turned his gaze to other places.As soon as he opened his mouth, the voice was very pleasant: "Madam, you don't need to thank me, I just tried my best."

After all, he began to write sacrificial texts again.

After he finished writing, the soil in the big pit had been filled and the monument was erected.The man burned incense in front of everyone's graves and solemnly recited the sacrificial oration he had written.Cai Wenji also worshiped with tears in her eyes.

After the worship, the man called Mr. Xun bid farewell to the person who helped him bury the body, saying that he would leave here.The group of people immediately tried their best to persuade him not to let him go.

At this moment, a few people suddenly rushed towards us in the distance, followed by many people.Song Ci was the first to notice that someone was approaching.She raised her head and looked into the distance, and a flying arrow was shot from a distance, and it was none other than Mr. Xun.
