Chapter 95 095: The Wind in the Forest [Please vote]
“You, don’t come here——”
The little girl was so frightened that she came back to her senses. It was nothing to hold one in her hands with trembling hands. The threatening golden hairpin was pointed at the two of them. She probably realized this as she turned the hairpin and put it against her chin. The top of the gold hairpin has been polished, leaving only a little red mark deep into the skin.
Whether it is used to threaten people or commit suicide, it is not useful.
Shen Tang: "I won't go over, you come out."
The little girl shook her head with a pale face: "No!"
Her eyes filled with fear suddenly rolled down with crystal tears.
She blinked, trying to clear her tear-filled vision again, but the tears rolled down more densely. The beads rolled from the round and milky cheeks to the chin, and then they gathered and dripped down. I have to admit that it is really heartwarming for a beautiful woman to cry.
Zhai Le stood aside and laughed: "Brother Shen, you are despised."
The girl in disaster needs gentle comfort.
Speaking harshly will only scare people.
Shen Tang tilted his head and thought for a moment, then struck out at lightning speed, grabbing the little girl by the collar and lifting her out of the box. The little girl was quite stubborn. Even though she was extremely frightened, she still refused to give up her struggle. Her fingers were trembling as she grasped the golden hairpin.
Zhai Le came closer, the smile in her peach blossom eyes spread like ripples: "Hello girl, I and Brother Shen are both good people."
The little girl endured the chattering of her teeth!
She doesn’t believe this nonsense.
Zhai Le asked again: "The girl's surname is Lin?"
The little girl shrank back and glanced at the corpses lying on the ground inadvertently. Her round eyes opened in shock. . She didn't even care that Shen and Tang were still there. She grabbed the golden hairpin and almost staggered to get closer.
Staring straight at the warm and soft body.
There is something called "hate" in the eyes that should be pure. Regardless of the dirty blood, he wiped off the bruises on the corpse's face with his bare hands and wiped it with his sleeve for easy identification. After confirming that it was correct, he quickly inserted the gold hairpin into the corpse's eye socket.
Zhai Le gasped and raised his hands to cover his eyes.
Relying on that burning hatred, she struck hundreds of times in a row. The golden hairpins inserted into both eye sockets of the corpse were turned to pieces, and the eyeballs turned into blood foam. Then she sat back as if exhausted.
Two gangsters waiting to move the body: "..."
Almost jumped up and hugged each other, trembling.
After a long time, the little girl came back to her senses.
She gritted her back molars, suppressing the fear that had dug a bottomless pit in her heart. She stood up, straightened her clothes and sleeves, and cooled her round, oval face - she looked childish, but deliberately squeezed it out. A bit mature and steady - he took two steps forward, crossed his hands at Shen Tang, and said two blessings deeply.
"Thank you, my benefactor, for avenging the twenty-four members of my Lin family."
Zhai Le on one side raised his eyebrows.
He touched his palms and smiled and said, "Young girl is so brave."
The little girl's already pale face became paler.
Shen Tang raised his foot to kick Zhai Le.
"Why are you scaring people when you have nothing to do?"
Zhai Le jumped away: "How can you scare? It's clearly a compliment."
Although he didn't know the inside story, he could guess two or three points, one It is not easy for an eight or nine-year-old child to watch his relatives being slaughtered by the family guards and dumping their bodies in the mountains, and then surviving by chance to meet a group of people who do not know good and evil. It is not easy to do this.
At least, the courage is commendable.
Shen Tang kicked back the lid of the wooden box and used it as a stool.
"Who are you? What happened before? Are there other relatives? Why are you hiding in the wooden box?"
Zhai Le reminded: "Ask politely."
Shen Tang swung him over with a glare. For a moment, he had the illusion of being stared at by his brother Zhai Huan, and subconsciously chose to turn off the microphone and keep silent.
Zhai Le: "..."
No, he is obviously the "brother"!
Seeing that Shen Tang was not malicious for the moment, the little girl relaxed her tense nerves a little, grabbed the golden hairpin, and her nails almost dug into the palm of her hand, forcing herself to answer: "The little girl's surname is Lin, her ancestral home is Lingzhou. With Chongci, Jiaci, my concubine, my brother-in-law, my brothers and sisters, and a group of maids and wives, went south to visit my relatives. Unexpectedly, the servants on the way became thief, killing people and taking wealth..."
Including her, there were twenty-five people in total.
"So many female relatives are walking outside, and only one man is following them? This is really..." Zhai Le frowned when he heard this. The world is so chaotic, and we must guard against foreign enemies as well as internal thieves, so we only send one elder, "brother-in-law." Escorts, plus "brothers" of unknown ages, are too arrogant.
The little girl bit her lower lip, lowered her head, and her eyes were red.
Who would have thought that a guard who had been serving for seven or eight years would suddenly turn against him? The leader of the guard is also highly trusted and has saved the family owner's life. "...because she was naughty and played with her sisters, she hid in a wooden box and escaped." She often quarreled with her sisters at home, and occasionally hid in wooden boxes to avoid being found. The elders were worried and opened her two wooden boxes. It has dark holes for easy ventilation. When she woke up from the wooden box, she was still wondering why no one had found her.
Peeking out through the hole, I saw the servant raising a butcher knife towards her relatives. The old, weak, women and children were unable to fight back, and all of them, including the seriously injured uncle, were killed.
The only thing she could do was cover her mouth and swallow her cries.
But she knew she would be caught.
More and more desperate.
Who knew it would take a turn.
"Everyone else has died...only the little girl is alive...wuwu..." She wiped away her tears and sniffed hard to prevent her nose from dripping down and staining her nose with crimson.
I pursed my lips and tried to swallow the emotion back, but the more I suppressed it, the more sour it became. Finally, I couldn't help it anymore, and my tears collapsed, like broken pearls falling one after another. It was so pitiful.
Shen Tang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment.
"Apart from the relatives who are going south to seek refuge, do you have any other relatives you can seek refuge with? It's best to be closer..."
The little girl stood there and shook her head, looking confused. She really didn't know what to do now. She had no one to rely on.
Zhai Le sighed: "It's so pitiful, why don't you accept it too."
Shen Tang wanted to poke a few holes in him with his sword.
"What to accept? How old is she?"
Zhai Le: "...???"
He jumped suddenly and his voice rose seven or eight degrees: "I'm telling you to keep her by your side as a maid. It's a way to survive anyway. If you have the opportunity to look for relatives again in the future, Brother Shen, where have you been thinking of? ? Did you think it was the 'receipt'?"
Shen Tang: "..."
She couldn't help but cover her face.
Well, her mind is unhealthy.
Shen Tang adjusted his mood and coughed lightly to relieve the embarrassment.
"You heard it, right? Do you want to go home with me first? When the situation stabilizes, then contact your other family members or go south to find relatives? You are too young and cannot survive alone."
小The girl lowered her head and thought for a long, long time.
He nodded vigorously with tears on his face.
“Thank you so much, my benefactor.”
However, I still wanted to speak but hesitated, as if I was in a dilemma.
Shen Tang guessed what she wanted to say and said: "Wait until dawn! It's too dangerous to search in the dark at night. Just pray that the wild beasts haven't gone crazy from hunger, or that they can leave intact corpses."
In this era. Children as young as eight or nine can be treated as adults. When their loved ones die tragically, they know how to collect the bones and bury them in peace.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor."
The little girl bowed deeply again, extremely grateful.
Also said: "My nickname is A'nan."
"No name?"
The little girl said nothing.
Shen Tang: "Then I arbitrarily choose one? It's not convenient to call you by a nickname. If your surname is Lin, you might as well name it 'Feng', Lin Feng."
Zhai Le: " Lin Feng? This is too manly."
Shen Tang rolled his eyes.
"Do you know what 'the wind under the forest' means?"
The wind under the forest refers to a strange woman who is talented, talented, poetic, graceful, and unparalleled in women's honors.
I bought a set of Shishuo Xinyu, and I found it quite interesting when I was searching for it a while ago
(But the content is really hard to remember, anyway, I didn’t remember any of it, so I just flipped through it. Just feel sleepy, this is a hypnotic tool).
By coincidence, I turned to the chapter on Xian Yuan in the second volume and found the sentence in it: "Mrs. Wang's expression is relaxed, so she has the atmosphere of the forest; the housekeeper Gu's pure heart and beautiful reflection are naturally the beauty of the boudoir", so she thought that she should be named Lin The wind is not bad either (although it sounds really manly).
As for the character, I originally wanted to choose "Lingxian". It makes people look forward to hearing it; a wise man has many talents. However, I found it strange that they were connected together, and I immediately thought about it before I remembered (I am about to run away for my third year, and my memory is much worse than before). Lingxian is a respectful address to other people's wives (for example, Lingci, Lingtang, respectfully addressing other people's mothers and fathers) ), hesitating whether to change it.
