Chapter 190
190
The wild dog remembered the first time he met Yuanbao, when Yuanbao gave him a cake. When he saw Yuanbao's smiling face, he felt like he had seen a savior, and he pounced on him desperately, wanting to be saved by the other party.
He was indeed rescued and has been well taken care of over the years. If Yuanbao had not accepted him, he might still be a beggar or even not live to this age.
Perhaps he was reminded of his own experience, and he took the person away for some unknown reason. Before leaving, the owner of the tavern asked him for some money as redemption money for her.
Seeing this, the soldiers who brought him here started to make a noise behind him, "Our Wild Dog General has high standards. He picked such a beauty right away. We are so envious."
The wild dog ignored them, as if he couldn't hear them, and led the people out of the door, walking all the way outside.
The woman tilted her head up, as if she wanted to see his expression, but her eyes had long been blind and she couldn't see at all. She made this action subconsciously. Before she was blind, she would have looked at others like this.
Wild Dog had no concept of money. In the past, he would save up any money he had like gold ingots. Later, he became Shao Hui's deputy general and made many military achievements. Not only did he receive a high salary, but the emperor also rewarded him with many things.
Apart from buying clothes for Yuanbao once, he had no other place to spend money. He did not feel any pressure in buying a person. He even wondered why human life was so cheap. Even the price of the clothes he had bought before was much more expensive than this woman's life.
He walked until he reached a deserted place and threw the blind woman onto the roadside. He only wanted to save her and had no intention of taking her back.
He turned around and tried to leave, but heard the sound of the woman falling.
When I turned around, I saw that she was indeed unsteady on her feet, crawling on the ground in a panic.
The wild dog turned around helplessly and pulled the person up. Wasn’t she born blind?
The wild dog couldn't speak or ask her any questions. He raised his hand to remove the white veil on her face and saw a wound similar to his own, which hurt him.
The woman told him that her last name was Zhu and that she was a local. Her mother was raped by foreigners during the war and gave birth to her. Because she looked like a foreigner, she was bullied and insulted by people around her since she was a child. Later, her mother died and she was raped and beaten by bad people and sold here...
She grabbed the wild dog's sleeve tightly as if she was grabbing a life-saving straw, and as if she was afraid that he would abandon her, she told him everything about her past.
Although it was just a few words, it contained all her blood and tears.
…
From that day on, Wild Dog had a blind maid by his side, and she would follow him wherever he went.
Everyone said that this was against the rules, and that the wild dog was blind in one eye and had no confidence, so they could only find a disabled person who was also blind.
Wild Dog was usually brave when killing enemies, but he never attacked his own people. Even if they said nasty things to him, he didn't care. Many people thought that he was not only blind and dumb, but also deaf, so they became even more unscrupulous when they said these things.
In the past, the wild dog did not resist, but now there is a girl named Zhu following him. Miss Zhu was not convinced and cursed back. Normally, she was like a fragile little flower, but when the wild dog was verbally attacked, she bravely came out and stood in front of the wild dog to protect him.
The wild dog looked at her like this and thought of his past self, who had also protected Yuanbao in the same way.
After those people left, Miss Zhu said to the wild dog, "It's all my fault for letting them say bad things about you. Otherwise, I'd better leave."
Wild Dog looked at her expression, pondered for a long time, and did not let her leave. From then on, she stayed by Wild Dog's side and acted as his translator. She could always guess what Wild Dog was thinking and what he wanted to say. When Wild Dog wanted to speak, he would pat her and she would tell him what he was thinking. Even Shao Hui said that it was much more convenient for them to have meetings with her around.
One night, the wild dog got up and found that Miss Zhu was missing.
They had been living in the same tent all this time, but there was a screen between them. At first, Miss Zhu wanted to sleep on the same bed with him, but he did not agree. She was very surprised, but did not insist.
Outsiders all thought that something happened between the two of them every night. Many people saw Wild Dog during the day and looked at him with that kind of eyes. Some were envious, some thought he was promiscuous and unreliable, they had all kinds of thoughts, but the commander didn't say anything, so what opinions could they have?
One of the wild dogs was blind and could not speak, but its ears were very sensitive. He knew when Miss Zhu went out. He waited for a while, got up and went out at the right time, and found Miss Zhu who was groping back around the camp.
"Where have you been?" the wild dog asked her in sign language, then he remembered that she was blind.
He took her hand and wanted to write to her, but she couldn't read either.
Miss Zhu was startled when he grabbed her hand, but she smelled the scent of the wild dog, a unique fragrance, not like the scent of a woman, but a scent of tea. She had not heard of a wild dog drinking tea during this period, and she didn't know why he had such a strong scent of tea.
If she had known Ye Gou for a long time, she would know that the scent of this tea was the perfume mixed by Yuanbao. At that time, Yuanbao wanted to give Yang Shiming a bottle of special perfume, but failed several times. He didn't want to waste the failed bottles, so he gave them to Ye Gou.
Yuanbao also said that wild dogs are too rough on weekdays, so if you spray some perfume on them, they will become sweet-smelling dogs.
There was not much perfume, and Ye Gou was reluctant to use it at first, but since Yuanbao got married, he used it every day. He planned to completely give up the idea of him after using up these perfumes.
Miss Zhu tried her best to suppress her expression and explained with an awkward smile: "I came out to relieve myself. Why did you come out again? Are you worried about me?"
The wild dog nodded, but thinking that she couldn't see him nodding, he pulled her hand to hold his face and nodded so that she could feel it.
The wild dog cannot speak, he can only perceive the world through body language. It was the same with Yuanbao when he was at home. In the past, he rarely came into contact with others except Yuanbao, and rarely "talked" to others. Now he also used the same method when treating Miss Zhu.
When he saw a blush on Miss Zhu's face, he realized that he had gone too far and she let go of his hand.
The two of them went back one after the other. Ye Gou looked at her back and felt soft-hearted. He wanted to give her a chance, but their meeting was a tragedy from the very beginning.
Wild Dog
The wind
She turned over and stopped looking at him.
Three days later, they fought a battle with the enemy. The enemy had received false intelligence in advance and suffered heavy losses. Their side won a great victory and killed many enemy generals.
After returning, Shao Hui ordered his men to tie up Miss Zhu, and also tied up several spies in the military camp.
He didn't catch her before in order to pass false information to the other side. Now she is useless. Shao Hui wants to tie up these spies together and behead them in front of all the soldiers to boost the morale of the army. After the final battle tomorrow, if they win, they can return to Beijing and he can be reunited with his husband and daughter. He believes that the soldiers are also looking forward to reuniting with their families as soon as possible.
Although he and Wild Dog had discussed this plan together, he was still worried that Wild Dog would feel bad. He patted Wild Dog on the shoulder and said to him, "Go back and rest this afternoon. You don't need to come."
But a soldier came running over and said that the spy wanted to see the wild dog.
Shao Hui: "What are you seeing? She can't see anything, so what are you looking at?"
The wild dog made some sign language gestures to Shao Hui, and then followed the soldier.
Shao Hui: "?? What are you gesturing? I don't understand. I really need to hire a translator for you in the future, a reliable translator."
Shao Hui was afraid that Ye Gou would impulsively save her. He couldn't let Ye Gou do what he wanted in this matter. After all, that girl Zhu almost killed them. If the enemy succeeded, not only would they, the soldiers, die, but the people living on the border would also suffer.
More than 20 years ago, the enemy country conquered this small border town. They burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of atrocities, turning the city into a living hell. Shao Hui was born at that time, and it was Shao Hui's father who took the city back personally. Although he had never seen how the people were abused by the enemy country, he was already trembling all over just by listening to his father's retelling. He would not allow that kind of situation to happen again.
Shao Hui chased after him and saw the wild dog standing in front of Miss Zhu. She was almost crazy and yelled at the wild dog: "Everything I told you before is true. My mother was raped by the enemy. She was obviously a victim, but after the enemy left, the people in the city said that my mother was dirty. Why didn't they dare to resist when the enemy was there, and only dared to speak ill of my weak mother? They just said she was dirty at first, and then because she was dirty, it became a reason for them to violate her at will, and the daughter born by this dirty woman also suffered the same experience as her mother. And you, how did you go blind? How did you lose your tongue? When we were hurt, who stood on our side? Is such a country and such people worth your desperate protection?"
The wild dog stood there and listened to everything she said. He raised his hand and gestured something, but after he finished gesturing, he remembered that she couldn't see.
Miss Zhu didn't hear any sound and thought the wild dog was going to leave. She changed her tone as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw and said pitifully: "Save me, I don't want to die, you must have a way to save me, I'm having a hard time, I'm blinded by hatred, please save me, I will definitely change in the future."
Shao Hui saw the wild dog walking towards her and wanted to call for someone to stop him, but she saw the wild dog took the executioner's knife and wanted to end her life with his own hands.
After this incident, many bad rumors about Ye Gou were spread in the army. They said Ye Gou was too cruel and could even kill someone he once loved. If it were them, they would definitely not do such a thing. Some people also said that they originally wanted to introduce their sister to him, but now they dare not do it. Who would dare to marry him in the future? What if he killed them one day?
The last battle went very smoothly and the enemy surrendered quickly. They didn't have much chance of winning in the first place, so they thought of starting with the wild dogs.
The enemy general heard that the wild dog had no brains but only brute force, and was also blind, so he found such a blind woman, hoping to arouse his sympathy and pity. Who knew that she would become a knife to stab themselves, and they were defeated even more miserably.
After the battle, Ye Gou found a place to bury Miss Zhu's body and erected a tombstone for her. He asked people to investigate and found out all those who had hurt her. He tied them up and made them kneel in a circle around Miss Zhu's grave. He sat beside them and drank all night.
This time, I got completely drunk.
Those kneeling people didn’t even know who was buried inside. They were just afraid. The next day, when they saw the wild dog was about to leave, they thought he was going to let them go. But the wild dog raised his knife to chop them.
When the first man's head was chopped off, the others were terrified and shouted that he couldn't do this, but Wild Dog threw them a document.
According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who rapes a woman is to be executed, he just moved the execution location to this side.
Shao Hui also helped him ask the emperor for approval regarding the official documents, and the emperor agreed.
He chopped off these people's heads one by one and placed them in a circle around the tomb. The scene looked both weird and funny.
The wild dog couldn't help laughing at the scene, and then he started crying. He thought of the blind woman, who was already covered in scars, but when she saw him being verbally attacked, she rushed up and protected him.
Is it possible that such imperfect people like them will never be happy in this life?
…
Cheng Yeran and Shen Yuntang received a letter from Yuanbao and learned that he was getting married to Yang Shiming.
"So soon. If I had known earlier, I would have gone back to attend his wedding no matter what." Cheng Yeran didn't expect Yang Shiming to be so brave that he actually asked the emperor for a marriage.
Is the emperor so easy to talk to? He looked at the letters again. The first one was written by Yuanbao, and the second one was written by Yang Shiming. They were all stuffed into an envelope. If Cheng Yeran hadn't recognized Yang Shiming's notes, most people would not have noticed that the letters were written by two people.
"They are showing off their affection to me." Cheng Yeran sighed, then couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect he would show off his affection, it's really rare, I want to see it."
Shen Yuntang rubbed his head, asked him to calm down and read what was written on the second letter.
On the second piece of letter paper, Yang Shiming wrote about the recent situation in the officialdom and the palace in the capital. After the second prince left the capital, the prime minister also got into trouble and was demoted and moved to another place. The queen poisoned the imperial concubine and almost killed the prince. She was deposed and sent to the cold palace. The fourth prince's mother took the throne and became the new queen.
However, although the new queen's family members were promoted, they could not compare with the former queen's family members.
People with more perceptive eyes noticed that all of this was the emperor's doing. The emperor was afraid of the high position and power of the former queen's mother's family, and was afraid that they would support the second prince.
The emperor is still young and strong, so he naturally cannot tolerate such a prince. Cheng Yeran was completely implicated by the second prince.
After reading the letter, Cheng Yeran realized that he had failed to see the situation clearly and had unknowingly stood in the wrong position.
At the beginning, he was highly regarded by the emperor and became a little arrogant. He forgot that this was the court and was wholeheartedly running around for his friends.
If the emperor took a fancy to the second prince, even if the second prince was really guilty, the emperor could say that he was innocent. However, the emperor wanted to convict the second prince in the first place, so even if the second prince was innocent, he would still be guilty.
But he couldn't see clearly and went looking for evidence. Wouldn't that make him a stumbling block for the emperor? It was good enough that he didn't die this time but was demoted.
"We couldn't go back for Yuanbao's wedding this time, so let's prepare some gifts for him and send them back." Shen Yuntang said.
"Just send him some money. Money is what he loves most." Cheng Yeran knew this cousin very well. "He might not be happy if you give him anything else. But then again, we didn't have a big wedding, so we can't get the gift money back."
"Do you need that little gift money?" Shen Yuntang thought he was joking.
"But, I don't lack the gift money, I just feel very sorry that there is no wedding." Cheng Yeran hugged Shen Yuntang's waist and said aggrievedly: "There is no sense of ceremony at all, and I just marry you like this, wuwuwu."
Shen Yuntang: "...Do you want to have another wedding too?"
Cheng Yeran: "Let's hold a wedding anniversary party. It's a good opportunity to invite local businessmen. I want to support the local economy, set up a few big companies, solve the employment problem, and make this province prosperous."
