Step by step routine

The wind and dark clouds covered the crescent moon.The street was even more deserted at night, and from time to time there were a few dogs barking from a certain compound.

As more and more people were collected, Shen Xiansi's breathing became heavier as he pulled the cart, and every step he took was difficult and heavy.He pursed his pale lips tightly, and when he took a deep breath, the air entered his throat, which was so painful.The eyes are very flat, under the indifference, there is a bit of sluggishness.

When everything was dealt with, Shen Xiansi squatted by the river holding water to wash his face, the smell of filth on his body could not be dissipated, Shen Xiansi sniffed it, but was laughed at disgustingly.He raised his head, water dripped from the tip of his chin, his eyes were clear and clean looking at the thick night.The slightly cold wind hit him, and he shrank back. Even though it was already summer, it was still cold at night.

The old woman came over and took out an egg from her bosom to Shen Xiansi.Shen Xiansi didn't answer, "Aniang, you can eat."

The old woman had a sad face, wrinkled lines, and gray hair. Her son and wife were gone. She was lonely and helpless, and she still came out to collect night incense for a living in order to survive when she was nearly [-] years old.

After the heavy rain that day, she wanted to find some mushrooms to fill her food, but she found a young man covered in blood and dressed in noble clothes.

The cloudy eyes stared at Shen Xiansi's face for a long time, the old woman fell to the ground, she recognized who he was, she had seen that portrait for a long time.She thought dryly for a long time, and finally got up tremblingly, and found the most honest and responsible A Niu in the village who did not dislike her as a stinky old woman, and carried Shen Xiansi back home.

The old doctors in the village shook their heads after seeing it, saying that it was hopeless.Then tell her that the accessories and underwear on this young man are very valuable, let her send them to the pawn shop for money.

At that time, Shen Xiansi burned to the brink of death on her dilapidated bed, and almost stopped breathing.The old lady did not dare to take out anything on Shen Xiansi's body to pawn, what if there was anything that made others recognize the other party's identity?In this world, the surname is Xiao.

She used to be a rich lady, and later she married a scholar who was well-read in poetry and books, and understood a lot of truths.

The old woman used her only remaining dowry, a jade hairpin, to exchange for silver, and bought chicken soup to stew for the people on the bed.Shen Xiansi's high fever is subsiding.

The old woman guarded him not daring to close her eyes.In the night, Shen Xiansi began to howl miserably, at first she was able to clenched her teeth and sob softly, then she couldn't help tearing her clothes, twisted and curled up and struggled strangely, accompanied by howling with pain to the bone marrow.

The old woman was at a loss and was terrified!This once most honorable person in the world seems to be living in hell.

This happened a few times, and every time I vomited a mouthful of blood and then fell silent again.

The old lady did not give up, she bought the piglets and lambs at home, and exchanged the money for Shen Xiansi to buy ginseng.

Life should not die, people came alive.The old lady felt that there was something wrong with this noble man, her eyes were a little dull, as if she couldn't speak.

After raising it for half a month, it gradually became able to go to the ground.He kowtowed to the old woman to thank her, and the old woman was so frightened that she lost her soul.She can't bear to kneel like this...

During the conversation, the old lady finally realized that this noble man seemed to have forgotten something.Because Shen Xiansi asked her, is there anyone in the village who can deliver the letter?

The old woman said yes, and asked him where to send it?

Shen Xiansi smiled, her smile was shy and clean, and her dull eyes were full of moving brilliance, "Send it to Pingling Rongxiang's residence."

At that time, she misheard because she was old, so she asked again in disbelief: "Where are you going to send it?"

"Pingling Imperial City, Rongrong Mansion."

The old woman looked strange.No one in Nanxiao knew how miserable the Rong family was back then, let alone the emperor who made the decree?Thinking of it, it is estimated that people have burned their brains.Now there is no tolerance, only general Rong who has won the revenge and won the glory.

The old woman sighed, "Nan Xiao has died, and now this place belongs to Fenglin. This year is the 13th year of Fenglin Tianqi, and the current sage, whose surname is Xiao. The Rongxiang family has long been fooled... by the last of Nanxiao Master, the whole family has been ordered to be executed. Only the third son Rong survived, leading the Nanxiao army to attack the imperial city more than a year ago, and welcoming Emperor Fenglin to Pingling." After finishing this long paragraph, the old man Only the woman dared to raise her gaze to look at the helpless looking man.

The terrified look is still flashing before the old woman's eyes.At night, she couldn't see Shen Xiansi's face clearly, but continued to pass the eggs in a daze.

Shen Xiansi had no choice but to take it.After peeling the eggs, he gave the whites to the old woman and ate the yolks himself.Egg yolks are hard to swallow, and the old woman has been short of breath recently, and he is afraid that something will happen to her.

After the old man and the other finished eating the eggs, they took each other and walked towards the small shabby house.The old woman suddenly mentioned her son, "My son's name is Li Tianqi, and his nickname is Gou'er. He is an Imperial Army soldier, and he guarded the emperor's study for the last three years."

"he is great."

"That silly boy, if the emperor at that time knew about it, his head would probably be taken off. He told me when he returned home for the first year in the Imperial Forest Army, that the emperor looks like a fairy. He is really good-looking. It's gone." This silly boy drew it in order to make his mother think that he had seen the face of the emperor, and his painting was taught by her mother.At that time, everyone complained about Emperor Yu Shen Xiansi, so she was naturally not angry.But she still kept that painting in the end. How many people in this life can see the emperor's holy face?One year there was a plague of rats, it was eaten off, and she finally set it on fire.

"I scolded him at the time. I said that the emperor was bewitched by leaf thieves, which made our people's life more and more difficult. It doesn't matter how good-looking he is, it's still disgusting." The old woman said with a smile, " But my son shook his head, he said he didn't think the emperor was that kind of person."

Shen Xiansi was silent, not knowing what to say.

The old woman said to herself, "When I came back for another Chinese New Year, he said that he saw a bird that fell from the Emperor's guard tree. A person with such a kind heart cannot be a tyrant. He always thought that the Emperor was a good Emperor. It's just that the situation is too difficult, a good woman can't make a living without rice, and the emperor has nothing to do. He once saw the emperor staring at the sky. At that time, there were too many things in the eyes of the emperor that he couldn't explain. The last time the dog returned During the Chinese New Year at home, he said that the emperor has a new way..."

"any solution?"

"The third prince of Fenglin came to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The emperor revealed that he personally killed the prince at the banquet, which gave Fenglin the most logical reason to attack Nan Xiao." The old woman shook her head and said, "I was shocked at the time. Why did he do this? And how did he know? The dog didn’t say that God let him overhear it. Now it seems that everything is God’s will, the emperor’s The approach is right, at least, there will be no more officers and soldiers robbing civilian women in the street to commit crimes, and there will no longer be families starving to death in the fields..."

"Is this considered a good thing?" Shen Xiansi murmured.

"Forget it, after all, in such a position, to make such a decision. It's a pity, the world will never know, in fact, our emperor has always kept us in his heart, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to abandon everything." Wiping tears, "Gou'er also did his part for this. He died in the shock that day. I guess he must have died protecting the emperor for us. This time, the emperor will definitely remember him. The nameless little Habayashi army."
