History of Yongwu

In August, the autumn wind was cool, Du Xuetang was sitting in front of Ruan Yue's room, holding up his little hands, Ruan Yue was carefully removing the gauze for him.

"Let me see" completely took off the gauze, Ruan Yue pulled it closer and looked at it carefully "Move it"

Du Xuetang moved obediently, shook his head at her and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"The doctor said you still have to be careful, don't be naughty"

"Don't worry, Miss Ruan"

Ruan Yue patted his head and smiled happily. Du Xuetang's fingers were almost crippled, but luckily she went to the doctor with his back the next morning, otherwise this beautiful little hand would be finished.

Another person came from the private school, Master Hou lost his temper, Du Wenle has been watched closely these days, and there is no time to torment Du Xuetang, otherwise it is uncertain when this hand will be healed.

"Sister Ruan, what is this?"

Ruan Yue regained her senses, looked at the clothes Du Xuetang was pointing at and said, "I bought these, although they are old clothes, but you can wear them after you change them."

"It's so big." Du Xuetang picked it up and put it on his body, dragging the hem of the clothes to the ground.

"Hehe, I said I need to change it." Ruan Yue took it off for him, put it in the closet, and muttered, "Although it is still warm now, it will be cold in a blink of an eye. In a few days, you will be sick wearing that dress. Now, sooner or later... Xiaotang"

"Sister Ruan" Du Xuetang replied outside the door, "I'll help you do the laundry."

Ruan Yue chased him out, and wanted to stop him, but seeing his eager little eyes, she didn't say anything, and sat down opposite him with a smile.

"Together"

"Well, together." Du Xuetang nodded.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, the kitchen of the Hou Mansion was busy making moon cakes. Ruan Yue had a better relationship with the cook who helped the kitchen, and asked her for some unused nuts to bring to Du Xuetang.

In the back garden, Du Wentao wandered around with his servants. In autumn, the leaves of the garden fell, and it was meaningless to be dry. His father punished Du Wenle, and even he was scolded.

"Huh?" His drowsy mind cleared up a bit, and he asked the boy beside him, "Who is that?"

The servant followed his gaze and replied, "Master, isn't that Ruan Yue who washes the clothes, the one who always protects the little bastard?"

her!Du Wentao froze for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I've seen a lot better in the past two years."

Hearing his words, the servant asked in a low voice, "Master, shall we go and have a look?"

"Let's go." Du Wentao turned around and walked towards Ruan Yue.

There were still some unwashed clothes in the yard, Ruan Yue couldn't help but quicken her pace, and bumped into Du Wentao who turned from the side.

"Eldest Young Master" Ruan Yue saw the person clearly and quickly apologized, "It's a crime for a servant to collide with the Young Master"

"Hehe...what did you take, let me see." Du Wentao smiled and stretched out his hand to grab it, Ruan Yue subconsciously hid, and the things scattered on the ground.

bad luck!Ruan Yue cursed secretly, lowered her head and said, "It's just nuts that are no longer used in the kitchen."

"Oh." Du Wentao looked at the ground and said leisurely, "Is it for my 'third brother'?"

"No, the maidservant wanted it herself." Ruan Yue quickly shook her head.Compared to Du Wenle, she was actually a little afraid of Du Wentao. This young master looked gentle and gentle, but he was actually more vicious than anyone else.

Du Wentao looked at her carefully, ignored her lying, turned and left and said, "Come with me, I have a few clothes to mend."

"Yes"

Ruan Yue followed Du Wentao, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, Du Wenle was just playing around, and Du Wentao was really ruthless.

Ruan Yue followed Du Wentao all the way into the room. She stood in the middle hall and didn't dare to raise her head and said, "Master, where are the clothes?"

Du Wentao gave the servant a look, and said to her, "It's in the room, go and get it."

The bedroom door was open, and Ruan Yue walked in hesitantly. She was looking for clothes when the door slammed shut behind her, and then she was hugged by Du Wentao from behind.

"You just take the clothes on this young master."

"Master!" Ruan Yue was startled in her heart, she struggled quickly and slammed her elbow hard, "Let me go"

Du Wentao was grinned by the bump, but he was not as angry as before, and rushed forward again, with a simple crony, Ruan Yue was not as strong as Du Wentao, so he was easily pushed onto the bed.

Bark!The skirt was torn "Ah!" Ruan Yue exclaimed.

Snapped!Du Wentao slapped her, and said while untying her clothes, "What's the name of the ghost, isn't following this young master better than washing your clothes every day?"

"Chang'an, what are you doing blocking the door!"

Mrs. Du's voice came from outside the door, Du Wentao's men paused, Ruan Yue quickly pushed him away, ran to the door and slammed on it.

"Ma'am, help!"

Madam Du was outside the door, when she heard the sound, her expression changed, she pulled the servant away and pushed the door open.In the room, Ruan Yue's clothes were disheveled, she hurriedly pulled her clothes and hid aside, Du Wentao was also open-minded, but his expression was calm.

"What are you doing!" Madam Du scolded angrily.

"Ma'am, master, he..."

"Mother, this maid is shameless and seduces my son," Du Wentao said flatly.

"I'm not, I don't!" Ruan Yuedong knelt down and said to his wife, "Ma'am, I don't."

Madam Du's face was gloomy, she took a step forward, raised her hand and slapped Ruan Yue fiercely, "You poor maidservant, how dare you seduce the young master!"

"No, ma'am, it's the young master..."

Snapped!Another slap, Madam Du stopped her and said, "You still dare to talk, Chang'an, drag her down"

Chang'an immediately pulled Ruan Yue down, and Ruan Yue was gagged by him and could not speak. In the courtyard, Mrs. Du sat on a chair, looking at Ruan Yue who was being held down and kneeling, her eyes were cold.

"Call, call me until she has a long memory"

Du Xuetang listened to Ruan Yue's words very much, he didn't go anywhere when his injury was not healed, he stayed in his small broken room all day, even though he hated it, he walked out of the room just after dark, this time was the least crowded, just in time to find Ruan sister.

"Hey... have you heard? Ruan Yue seduced the young master and was beaten by his wife, so he was left with one breath."

"Which one is Ruan Yue?"

"The one who always protects the little bastard"

"Oh"

Du Xuetang was stunned, he didn't care to hide, he pushed the person away and ran out like crazy.

Outside the door of Ruan Yue's room, the room was pitch black, and there was no sound. He walked carefully to the door, and put his palm on the door, afraid to push it open.

Squeak, the door slammed, he stood inside the room, and timidly said "Sister Ruan"

"Xiaotang" Ruan Yue lay there, slowly returning to her senses, looking sideways at the little figure "Xiaotang, come here..."

"Sister Ruan" Du Xuetang pounced on her, lying on her arm, crying heartbreakingly, even if he was bullied by Du Wenle, he never cried so sadly.

"It's me who hurt you, it's me"

"Don't cry, good boy, don't cry" Sister Ruan persuaded him softly, touching his little face.

Du Xuetang didn't care, and kept crying like that. Sister Ruan circled his little head and turned sideways with difficulty.

"Good boy, remember my sister's words, live, live to have hope, leave here, live freely"

live!Sister Ruan kept repeating this sentence until Du Xuetang couldn't feel her breath, until he cried all his tears, the sky turned blue, and the light came in. Du Xuetang raised his head and looked at Sister Ruan with red and swollen eyes.

Sister Ruan was cold all over, her face was pale and blue, not as rosy as he was familiar with, and the corners of her mouth were tightly pursed, without a trace of a warm smile.

He stared at it for a while, then stood up alone, tidied his sleeves carefully, took out the dress that Sister Ruan promised to modify for him from the cabinet, wiped away his tears, and left here without looking back.

Another girl who washed clothes came into the Hou's mansion, she was also about sixteen or seventeen years old, Du Wenle was finally released, and she still came to trouble Du Xuetang all the time, nothing special, but Du Xuetang didn't feel as sad as before.

Later, when Du Xuetang grew up, he realized that when a person completely loses protection and no longer has expectations, it is difficult to feel pain.

Soon, the back garden was covered with heavy snow. Du Xuetang dug out the jacket that Sister Ruan made for him last year. It was a little too small for him, and his wrists were exposed, but it still made him feel warm.

During the twelfth lunar month, the servants got busy, the Hou’s mansion welcomes them, prepares the new year’s goods, the kitchen is busy making all kinds of snacks every day, Du Xuetang always hides secretly in the corner, he is not greedy for those snacks, but At this time, Sister Ruan would always get him good things from the kitchen in a different way.

Now that Sister Ruan is gone, the aroma of the dim sum has faded, only the cold wind outside the wall remains undiminished.

New Year's Eve

The whole family of the Hou Mansion gathered together, Madam Du looked around, and suddenly remembered something, and asked the maid beside her, "Is that thing locked up?"

"Madam don't worry," the servant girl replied.

Madam Du was relieved now, seeing Du Wentao's wrinkled skirt, she smiled and stepped forward to straighten it for him.

In the back garden, in a very small and dark woodshed, Du Xuetang was locked up there. He would be locked up every New Year. His wife said he was unlucky. At first he didn’t know where he was unlucky, and he often cried all night. Later, he understood The wife said that he was unlucky, but he was unlucky, so he stopped crying.

The door of the firewood room is very thin, blocking the light and the cold wind. In previous years, he would curl up in the corner as much as possible, hoping for the dawn, but today...

Du Xuetang piled up the firewood one by one, and climbed up to the top with great effort. There was a small window in the firewood room for ventilation, and it was very high. When he stepped on the firewood pile, he needed to tap his feet to see the outside.

There was snow outside the window, and occasionally snowflakes rolled up by the wind could be seen. He stared at the silver-white snow, and unconsciously clenched the wooden grille of the window.

Snapped!Du Xuetang froze for a moment as the weather-beaten wooden lattice shattered. He looked outside the courtyard, as if he had made up his mind.Arms were strong, his feet pushed against the wall vigorously, and his small body climbed out of the window tremblingly. Under the window was the straw used for lighting firewood. Du Xuetang fell on it and was not injured.

As the cold wind blew, Du Xuetang took a breather, but his expression was still a little excited. The people in the Hou's mansion were all in the front yard, and there were few people in the back garden. He walked on the gravel path, and he didn't have to hide behind rockery or bushes secretly.He has lived here for so long and is familiar with every place, but he has only seen it carefully until today.

Maybe the moonlight is very good, maybe it's rare to be upright, but Du Xuetang thinks this Hou's mansion is very good.

Outside the gazebo, white snow had accumulated half a foot thick. Du Xuetang stepped on it, and the snow was so heavy that his feet were bare. It was very cold, but he was still very happy. It would be great if Sister Ruan could be by his side.He stood where he was, his expression darkened, staring at the thick snow, he squatted down suddenly for a while.

Du Xuetang built a snowman as tall as him, the highest he could build. He used branches to draw the eyebrows, eyes and mouth indistinctly, and then stood in front of the snowman with a silly smile.

In the middle of the night, the colder the wind, Du Xuetang's whole body was cold and his cheeks were flushed from the cold. He looked at it, and suddenly the corners of his eyes turned red, and he hugged the cold snowman tightly.

"Sister Ruan, I miss you"

Du Xuetang misses her, but always remembers Sister Ruan's advice to live on!Sister Ruan also left him a piece of clothing, he can't leave without wearing it, Sister Ruan will be angry.

"How dare you come out!"

Du Wenle stood behind him at some point, looked at Du Xuetang who was foolishly hugging the snowman, and sneered at the corner of his mouth.

"Changshun, pull the little bastard away"

Chang Shun immediately stepped forward to pull Du Xuetang, Du Xuetang struggled, his hands were still reaching for the snowman, Sister Ruan...

"Call you baby!" Du Wenle cursed, and kicked the snowman fiercely, causing the snowman, which was not tall at all, to collapse.

"Ah..." Du Xuetang suddenly collapsed, knelt on the snow, tightly clenched his palms.

Du Wenle was stunned, the scream scared him so much that he didn't dare to move, he was actually a little frightened.

"What noise!" Mrs. Du walked over, seeing Du Xuetang's face suddenly changed, "Who told him to come out?"

Du Wenle quickly retreated to the side and remained silent. Mrs. Du looked at him and snorted coldly, "How can you let him come out for the New Year's Eve, tie him up and shut him up?"

Du Xuetang was dragged away just like that, his eyes fixed on the broken snowman.

That time, he was imprisoned for several days, and when he was released, he almost starved to death. The gatekeeper was startled, gave him something to eat, and threw him back into his small hut.

Du Xuetang fell seriously ill again, this time no one sought medical advice for him, he just lay on the bed like that every day, and in the end he recovered miraculously.

This year's winter was extremely cold, and Du Xuetang's hard-won moments in his life were all in winter!After Sister Ruan, he didn't like the New Year anymore until...
