The world is a bitter sea, and people struggle within it.
Is genuine sincerity always belittled? Are kindness and gentleness always bullied? Are ugly commoners always mocked? Is unparalleled ...
Chapter 435 The Prostitute's Waiting (2)
"I was very sick before, so I didn't hear it." Shi Yi coughed up a large bloody lump while speaking. She was a little slow and failed to cover it up in time, so the helper behind the madam could see it clearly.
"Tuberculosis, she has tuberculosis." The helper quickly ran back a long way.
Tuberculosis is contagious. The madam was uneasy, but after all, Liu Shi Yi had been her cash cow, so how could she bear to let him go. She almost held her breath and asked, "Where did you get this disease?"
"I do have tuberculosis." As soon as Shi Yi said this, the madam wanted to escape. Tuberculosis is an incurable disease, and she knew this better than anyone else.
She remembered clearly that there was a strong young man in Ju County who had tuberculosis. In less than three months, he had infected everyone in his family and died within a few dozen days. Everyone in Ju County knew how terrible tuberculosis was, and they simply fled at the sight of it. Only those who had fled from other places were lucky enough to hope that the disease could be cured.
"Please come and visit me, mom. But I'm afraid that Shi Yi won't be able to continue to serve you in the future." Shi Yi turned her back and coughed twice, then dragged her heavy body back, sobbing in a low voice: "If mom doesn't mind, Shi Yi still has a personal huqin..."
The madam couldn't wait for her to finish, and she caught up with her helper like the wind and left. The personal huqin was probably because she despised her short life. She just felt that this trip was too unlucky, and Liu Shi Yi, the cash cow, could not continue to make money for her. Shi
Yi stood in the wind for a long time, and she never stopped coughing. Her fellow villagers who came with the madam felt sympathy when they heard her endless cough, but she and her husband couldn't take care of their lives, so how could they take care of others.
No one paid attention to herself. Very good. Shi Yi finally achieved the effect she wanted. She turned and went into her thatched house to clean up.
In fact, her house was neatly arranged and cleaned. There was no sign that the owner had any problems.
She was pretending to be sick. After entering the house, she stopped coughing and spit out all the red fruits stuck in her throat and wrapped them in the handkerchief that had been soiled before.
Although the dynasty she came to was fictional, it was similar to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms in history. The heroes were fighting and the people were in turmoil, or it could be said that the people had difficulty surviving. She used to be the daughter of the minister of Qin.
Qin was founded only 35 years ago and was destroyed by Ronglu, the most trusted general of the Qin emperor. Naturally, she, the daughter of the former minister, was not spared by Ronglu. She became a military prostitute together with the daughters of the nobles and the imperial concubines of Qin. Her fate was clear and she could not escape being insulted by the soldiers. It happened that at this time, a god-like figure appeared-Fu Jian.
On the day she became a military prostitute, Fu Jian personally brought her and Princess Qin to his tent. She thought she would be treated cruelly by a tyrannical general, but she was not. Fu Jian released her and Princess Qin Yunxi.
Qin Yunxi hated Ronglu so much that she naturally wanted revenge. Although she could not kill Ronglu herself, it was also a great pleasure to get rid of his most capable general Fu Jian. She took out the dagger she had hidden, but was discovered by Fu Jian who moved quickly and only scratched Fu Jian's arm in the end. Fu Jian tried to cover up for her but was caught by Ronglu's confidant who was snooping outside the tent. Ronglu's confidant could not tolerate such a princess of a fallen country, and immediately killed Qin Yunxi with a sword. In order to save her life, Fu Jian tore her clothes and hugged her on the bed, pretending to be in the daytime to avoid the snooping of Ronglu's confidant.
Although Qin Yunxi died, she was respected by Fu Jian. On the contrary, she was rejected by him for being willing to stay by his side. She didn't care. She was lucky to escape and keep her innocence. Her mother died early, and her father died of illness when Emperor Qin was driven out by Ronglu. Her father had no other wishes, but only hoped that she, his flesh and blood, could survive in the world. She originally thought that it would be good if she could stay with Fu Jian for a lifetime, but she didn't expect that Fu Jian would soon leave the territory of Qin to conquer other princes, and she was naturally abandoned by him. Although, she was placed in an ordinary family by him. But in troubled times, how could anyone take in a stranger for a long time. It happened that she found out that Fu Jian might pass by a nearby county, so she left the family's house and prepared to go to him for refuge. On the way, she was caught and insulted by a deserter. She also learned from the deserter that Fu Jian was defeated and beheaded by someone.
In her life, she didn't hate Ronglu who destroyed her country, she didn't hate Fu Jian who abandoned her halfway, she didn't hate the family who took her in temporarily, she only hated that she didn't have the ability to save Fu Jian's life. So, she tried her best, just to exchange Fu Jian's life. The "
she" here, to be exact, is the original owner. Saving Fu Jian's life is also the original owner's wish.
Weizhou City, Lai County.
"Let's go, you take His Royal Highness the Crown Prince away from here, I'll cover the rear. If the city is here, I'll be here, if the city is gone, I'll be gone." On the city gate, the general with blood on his armor was bloodshot, and the knife he was holding had been rolled, but he still stood firm in front of the city gate.
This battle, with 100,000 against 100,000, must have been hard to bear, but because of a traitor in the army, it resulted in heavy casualties. He, the general, led the troops to fight the enemy, and blocked the enemy's cavalry with his flesh and blood.
"General..." Deputy General Wei killed the enemy soldiers who rushed up, turned around and looked at him, tears in his eyes.
Originally, they could have won this battle. He wanted to persuade the general not to continue to defend, but the general was a great man who would rather die than abandon the people in the city.
"Go. Go quickly." The general looked at his most loyal subordinate, his eyes reddened, and whispered, "Live well."
He could not win this battle. He could only bury the people with his own life.
The enemy soldiers gathered towards him one by one. He threw away the long knife in his hand that had long been rolled up, pulled out a long sword from the corpse, and rushed towards them. Soldiers died on the battlefield, and died without regrets.
Deputy General Wei rode his horse and ran out of the city. If the general died, what would the life of the prince in the city have to do with him! He was going to call for reinforcements now, to find someone who could save the people in the city and the general.
The prince was ambitious and blindly commanded, and then hid in the city every day to enjoy himself. At this moment, he still didn't know that Lai County was about to be breached by the enemy.
"Prince, the Qin King's army is coming. What should we do?" The attendant's words made him throw the beauty away in a panic. He grabbed the attendant's collar and said hysterically: "Run, run now."
He was stunned again. How to run. He was not familiar with the situation in Lai County. Moreover, Fu Jian, who was a god of war, was guarding outside the city. If the city was broken and Fu Jian died, how could he, the prince, survive?
He fell to the ground with a thud.
