[Red Mansion] Sir, I'm a rough man

"hiss!"

Baoyu shuddered in pain, and her whole body trembled. Earlier, a sharp thorn, whether it was a gravel or a wooden post, passed through the sole of the straw sandal without any hindrance, and stuck into the flesh. It's like being stabbed...

At first he was afraid of the whip behind him and didn't dare to stop to pull it out, but now the thorns had completely penetrated into his flesh and he couldn't pull it out even if he wanted to.

After the blood bubble burst earlier, the burning pain of the tender flesh being rubbed by the rough straw sandals became bearable in contrast to the wooden thorns.

During these long ten days, he felt more than once that he couldn't hold on anymore, that he was going to die, and that it was impossible for him to be worse than he is now.

However, the fact is that reality can get worse, worse, and worse...and he, in such a situation, survived.

He has collapsed, gone mad, passed out...but now he is still sober and bears everything.

"Ah!" His toe kicked the stone on the side of the road, and the sudden pain made him scream out, and he sat down on the ground directly. He felt that his nails might be overturned, but he didn't take off his shoes to check, but He pressed the ground indiscriminately and tried to get up.

"Crack!" With the sound of a whip, Baoyu trembled in fright, but it may be because Jia Zheng sent money before he set off. The girl who was brought down on a rope...

The girl, who was already exhausted, fell to the ground and couldn't get up again. No matter how hard her mother pulled her, it was useless. The whip whipped her body, but she only twitched twice.

The woman knelt on the ground, kept kowtow, blocked the whip that was being drawn towards the girl with her body, and begged bitterly: "Master, please do me a favor, please do me a favor..."

"My lord wants to pity you, but who pity us? If time is wasted, our brothers will end up worse than you! Get up, go! Hurry up!"

Baoyu got up slowly and looked at all this numbly.

The girl who fell on the ground, was born with gold and jade, surrounded by dozens of maids and women, pampered like a princess, but now she is dressed in rags, lying on the ground and being beaten mercilessly.

That lady, usually pampered and pampered, responded to every call, but now she knelt on the ground disheveled and begged those soldiers who used to think they were dirty at a glance.

Baoyu hated them once, but now he can't hate them.

If these people hadn't acquiesced in front of the officials that he was the young master of the Chen family who was studying abroad, maybe he wouldn't have to suffer all this, but seeing their miserable situation, he didn't know how else to curse them...

The Chen family, he took a quick look.

The mansion is much bigger than Rongguo Mansion, the garden is more beautiful than their newly built family-saving villa, there are ladies who are not inferior to his sisters in the garden, and there are countless beautiful girls...

What a beautiful world, but it's a pity that it's like a bubble that bursts when the wind blows.

The old lady who had been pampered all her life was gone after two days in prison;

Girls who were like flowers were driven into a pile, picked and picked like animals, and dragged away;

The young lady who was raised like a pearl like a treasure in a deep boudoir was pretended to be an official prostitute, and engaged in the most despicable flesh and blood business...

If it wasn't for Jia Zheng to find him and wake him up, he even once thought that this was his home, his family...

When he was first caught in prison, he thought they would release him soon after their identity verification or interrogation, but they didn't.

When Jia Zheng found him, he thought it was the end of it, that his father would rescue him soon, but no...

He was imprisoned, fighting with other prisoners for muddy water and moldy food during the day, and sleeping with rats, cockroaches, fleas and Gongbai at night.

He was led by a rope, and walked day after day with his bloody feet, wearing thin prison clothes and prickly sandals in the chilly spring...

His father was helpless.

In his eyes, the majestic father who supported the whole family and the Rongguo Mansion couldn't even save his son who was wrongly arrested...

How fragile is the home that he thought could last for a long time?

The girl still couldn't stand up, and the whip continued to whip, but it was transferred to her brother... Baoyu stood numbly, listening to the screams and begging and scolding close at hand.

There was a rush of horseshoes in the wind.

The guard who escorted took a look, stopped his whip hastily, and yelled at everyone to stand aside.

The sound of horseshoes approached quickly, but they did not pass by the road they gave up, but stopped, to be precise, they stopped in front of Baoyu.

Baoyu, who was shrouded in shadows, raised his head in a daze, and saw a man in black armor on a tall horse, sitting firmly like a mountain. Because of the backlight, Baoyu couldn't see his face clearly for a while, but felt vaguely familiar.

"Second Brother Bao." The clear voice came to my ears, as if it had been a lifetime.

Baoyu murmured, "Playing?"

"I came late and made my second brother suffer." Jia Wan got off his horse and asked, "Can I ride a horse?"

For a moment, Baoyu couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or just woke up, so he nodded in a daze.

Jia Wan took off his cloak and put it on Baoyu's body. Baoyu shivered from the warm body temperature, and finally gradually came back to his senses, staring at Jia Wan in a daze: "Play?"

Jia Wan nodded and said, "It's me."

He said again: "Second brother, get on the horse, we are going home."

"Go... go home?"

Jia Wan sighed secretly, nodded and said, "Go home."

Helping Baoyu get on the horse, he also jumped on another empty horse he brought.

The escort officers finally came to their senses, hurriedly stepped forward to stop them, and said with an apologetic smile: "This general, you are..."

Jia Wan showed his waist card, and said lightly: "The guards are doing things, idlers don't ask."

"Yes, yes!" The foreman nodded and bowed his head, "The young ones don't dare to ask more questions. It's just that when the general proposes someone, there must be a letter of approval from the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the young ones to do business!"

Jia Wan threw out an ingot of silver casually, and said calmly: "Is the approval document right? Wait."

He said again: "Get out of the way!"

As soon as he kicked the horse's belly, he galloped past like that.

Several servants hurriedly stepped aside, but Baoyu didn't realize it for a moment, and then hurriedly followed after a while, thinking that she would be stopped, but those servants looked on eagerly, and no one dared to step forward.

That's it, come out?

Baoyu couldn't help but turned her head and looked back, only to see the bitter faces of the guards, but no one had the intention of stopping.

The little girl who had just been beaten was sitting on the ground next to her mother, and she was looking at him blankly. In those beautiful eyes that were gradually becoming cloudy, there was not only hope, but even despair.

Jia Wan slowed down his horse, and when Baoyu's horse approached, he handed him an oiled paper bag and said, "I've been recuperating in the palace these days. Quickly chase after me, I bought this at the market in front of me this morning, the food of the people in the market is unavoidably crude, you can barely eat a little."

Baoyu didn't force himself to eat at all.

Although it was just a few cold vegetable and meat buns, it was the first time that Baoyu ate human food in the past 20 days.

Jia Wan was a little sad to see that voracious appearance.

He originally wanted Baoyu to "look at" the scene personally, and then suffer a little bit-living in that dirty place for a few days and eating a few meals in prison, for a son like Baoyu, It's already a terrible pain - I don't want Zhao Yi to do so thoroughly and "exile" people directly.

Seeing that Baoyu ate too fast and choked so much that he rolled his eyes, Jia Wan hurriedly handed over the water bottle.

He thought that Baoyu never had a big appetite, so he only bought six steamed buns in the morning, ate two for himself, and left four for him. He didn't want to eat them up in a few mouthfuls, Baoyu said: "Is there any more?"

Jia Wan shook his head and said: "I have to go back to work, I can't stay long, there is a small town ahead, I'll find an inn for my second brother to rest, and when I arrive in Beijing, my uncle will send someone to pick me up."

Baoyu shook his head again and again: "No, I don't live here, I'll go back with you."

Jia Wan frowned.

Baoyu said: "I'll go back with you, I can ride a horse, I won't drag you down... You take me back together!"

"……All right!"

They trekked for three days, but it only took half a day to ride the horse. This is because Baoyu's riding skills are so ordinary, which seriously slowed down the speed.

When we saw the tall city walls of Kyoto, the sun was still hanging in the middle.

When Jia Wan saw Baoyu stop and squinted at the city gate, he also stopped beside him without urging him.

After a long time, Baoyu turned to look at him and said, "You don't have the approval from the Ministry of Punishment, so you just take me away. What if the emperor blames me?"

"Huang..." Jia Wan just said a word, and saw a familiar figure riding a fast horse, rushing out of the city gate, stopped in front of them, and said coldly: "You are really big-hearted, and you have slipped out for so long , the emperor is looking for you... just wait until you go back and face the board!"

Jia Wan said: "I asked for leave last night."

"What's the use of asking for leave?" Zhou Kai said, "The ceiling of Qinzheng Palace is about to be toppled!"

Jia Wan was stunned and said, "Isn't it?"

"That's right!" Zhou Kai said, "You don't know what kind of temper that little ancestor has?

"Anyway, hurry back and see if the emperor doesn't skin you!"

Jia Wan snorted coldly, "I've already asked for leave!"

Zhou Kai sneered and said, "You asked for leave to go home, which home did you go back to? It's useless to tell me...the emperor is waiting for your explanation!"

Jia Wan didn't speak any more, just hit the horse and left, the voice came from afar: "Help me take my second brother home."

Zhou Kai said loudly: "What's the benefit?"

Jia Wan said, "Do you want to eat your fist? There's so much nonsense!"

Baoyu was about to speak, but Jia was playing fast, and the time for two sentences had gone too far. Like Zhou Kai, he rode his horse straight into the city gate, and the guards stood aside in a hurry to see him off.

Zhou Kai said, "Second Brother Jia, let's go too!"

He said again: "The same is true for Ah Wan. I have to go over this trivial matter myself. If any brother gives orders, who won't do it properly for him?"

Baoyu asked, "Wouldn't there be any trouble if Ah Wan brought me back directly like this?"

Zhou Kai said, "What's the trouble?"

Baoyu said: "The approval document from the Ministry of Punishment..."

Zhou Kai waved his hand casually, and said, "What kind of approval do you want? It's normal for a few people to die on the way to exile. Those people who don't wait for the approval will naturally report a sudden illness and lose their name."

Baoyu was stunned: "It's... so simple?" This is a crime...

"Easy?" Zhou Kai shook his head, and smiled again: "Jane is not easy, it depends on who does it, and you think anyone can afford it if you lose your head?

"Let's go!"

Turn the horse's head and move forward.

Baoyu subconsciously tightened her cloak, covered her prison uniform tightly, and arrived at the gate of the city anxiously, but the little leader at the gate laughed far away: "Master, you are back so soon?"

Zhou Kai laughed and said, "I've found him, why don't you go back?"

Throwing a piece of silver over, he said, "Brothers, please drink tea... Next time Jia sneaks out of the city gate, stop him, and I will reward you!"

The leader smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty is joking, how can you be so courageous?"

Zhou Kai snorted coldly and said, "Look at how promising you are! At worst, you will be beaten up by him, afraid of being a bird? Lord, I fight with him every day, and I am still alive and well now?"

The little leader smiled and said: "My son's martial arts is so strong, naturally it is not something that young people can compare with."

Zhou Kai said: "Why do you think you're scolding me? It's okay, no kidding. Next time I see him going out of the city, if I can't stop him, I'll ask where he's going... This day, I'm going to kill us."

The leader responded with a smile, and watched the two of them enter the city gate.

Baoyu let go of the hand tightly gripping the skirt of his shirt, turned his head to look at the long procession outside the city, and seemed to see through them again the group of people who were struggling hard on the road to exile...

Subconsciously licked the corner of his lips.

Power...power.
