Back Off, Let Me Come

"Cough cough cough - cough cough -"

Weak coughs came intermittently from the side of the backyard. The woman sleeping in the outer room heard the movement, put on her clothes and got up. Candlelight lit up in the room, dispelling the heavy and cold darkness. If you get closer, you can still hear the patients' faint murmurs.

"Water, water...water..."

The woman said warmly: "Here comes the water."

As he spoke, he carefully lifted the patient up on the bed so that she could tilt her head and sip the warm water. As the liquid flows through the throat, the burning dryness is temporarily relieved. She moved her lips, and her mouth changed from a small mouth to a big mouth.

After a while, the bowl of warm water bottomed out.

The patient also regained consciousness slightly.

"Dare to ask my benefactor..."

She remembered clearly that she was rescued during the day.

The very person who is taking care of her now.

"I don't dare to act as a benefactor. After all, the girl helped the slave family out of the siege with a word of kindness, but now she is just repaying the favor." She carefully put the patient down, tucked the corner of the quilt, and said softly, "Girl in the daytime is seriously ill. Before I could tell her, the slave family had reported the girl’s origins to the parents here. The parents were kind and tolerant, and told her to let the girl rest assured and recuperate here.”

Hearing that his background was reported, the patient's heart tightened, and he felt a little relieved after hearing the next sentence.

She is also sensible and aware of her own identity.

"When I recover, I will say goodbye to my master. My master is kind, but I cannot 'repay kindness with hatred' and bring disaster to the family." She was weak and had a serious fever. She said such a long sentence in one breath, and her throat burst out with strong force. Itching and coughing again.

Maybe he slept a lot during the day.

No matter how dizzy she was at the moment, she couldn't sleep. Seeing that she couldn't sleep, the woman was also worried that the other person would have to wake up in the middle of the night, so she took the quilt over and slept not far away to take care of her. She took the initiative to stir up the topic: "Why is the girl here?"

This girl is a noble girl from Xiaocheng.

His father held a high position and held a large number of troops.

And her?

Although she was born in a branch of a famous family, her father's lineage was in decline, and his father was a man with high ambitions and low abilities. He would try to find evil ways if his own abilities were not enough. Seeing that my daughter was born well at a young age, I couldn't help but have my own thoughts.

First, he clings to his clan uncle and shamelessly raises her in his family, allowing her to study and become literate. He privately hires a teacher who is proficient in dance and music to give her lessons to build her reputation and get her a good marriage. However, things in the world are unpredictable, with misfortunes and blessings coming every day.

Patient: "I have no relatives and no reason to beg. I came here begging all the way."

Her voice was husky and her tone was calm.

In fact, no one can imagine the hardships suffered.

When the woman heard this, she felt sad.

"What about you? How are you doing after Xiaocheng?"

She had no initial impression of women.

But the woman said "a word of kindness", coupled with the other person's outstanding appearance, finally found fragments in the corner of the memory.

The other party is a dancer who has become famous before she officially takes the stage, and is a beauty that many young people are eagerly waiting for. Such a glamorous reputation certainly brought her a lot of followers, but it also caused resentment from the women behind these men who had been left out for many years.

Among them, a woman from a good family came to the door with a group of servants and guards, threatening to tear her skin to pieces, strip her clothes and throw them into the street for passers-by to watch.

The patient met by chance and stopped this.

Beauty is not the fault of a dancing girl.

The flies that come by the smell are hateful!

The woman smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, my parents are considerate and have treated the slave family well in the past two years. There is no serious boss in the house, and life is much better than before."

The patient said: "This is a blessing in disguise."

The woman was startled for a moment, then sighed: "If tens of thousands of people in Xiaocheng can be saved from being massacred, it's okay if they don't want this blessing."

Her life was already hard.

Anything worse would be just like that.

When she was ten years old, she was demoted to a lower class due to her clan uncle's involvement. Not to mention her marriage, her future husband's family feared her like a snake or a scorpion, and they were eager to put an end to the relationship. He never thought of any old feelings to rescue her. She had no choice but to rely on her face, talent, and sweet mouth to win the favor of the boss, who regarded her as a "curious commodity" to live in. She carefully taught music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing, and vocal music, especially singing and dancing.

If nothing happens to Xiaocheng...

I am afraid that at this time, she is already the "number one dancer" pursued by the romantic talents in Sibao County. Is the treatment earned by Israel’s servants considered an honor? Those literati and young people from aristocratic families, their sweet words are just for the sake of a kiss.

Peel off this thin fig leaf...

Naked worldly desires will be revealed.

She is the best when she has the right youth. Once Chunhua gets old - well, her beauty and figure will be destroyed by time, but these celebrities, scholars, and young people from powerful families will not. They will pursue the next newcomer who has the right youth.

Life is full of unpredictable situations.

Two young women whispered late at night.

When talking about the suffering, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.

Boom, boom, boom.

A clear knock on the door sounded in the dark night.

The patient's nerves are tense.

The woman put on her clothes, stood up and looked at the silhouette on the window.

He whispered: "It's a parent, don't worry, girl."

Only then did the patient realize with embarrassment that he was living in his benefactor's room, and outside were the family members of the mansion, and he was the one who was disturbing the scenery. The woman stood up and opened the door. Sure enough, Gong Xiqiu was standing outside the door. But she keenly noticed that the aura around him was a little low, which she had never seen before after knowing him for so long. She secretly guessed that something bad happened to her parents?

Gong Xiqiu's eyes fell to another place.

The woman realized, closed the door, and followed his pace.

"General, you are here late at night. Do you have any important instructions?"

This has never happened.

Even if outsiders assume that the woman is the concubine in Gongxi Qiu's house, even if the man has been stingy and has not given her a status, there is only such a mistress in the house, and her status is different. Only women knew that the young general was devoted to martial arts and had no regard for men and women.

Even if there is, the woman must be able to withstand the beating and not be beaten to death or beat Gong Xiqiu to death in order to meet the criteria for mate selection.

Gong Xiqiu said after a while: "You pack your things in the next two days, and I will send my confidants to send you away from here to a very safe place, where you can live in peace and seclusion, and you will be safe."

The woman was startled: "Send away from here? That general..."

Gong Xiqiu frowned: "There are some private matters that need to be dealt with. No matter whether it is successful or not, the waves it raises can send you to the Palace of Hell to report. I don't want to harm you."

Although the two of them had no romantic feelings, after getting along for a long time, their sincerity became more sincere, and Gong Xiqiu gradually regarded her as his sister. Since they are brother and sister, it is natural for them to find a way out for her.

Women hear the seriousness of the problem.

I wanted to open my mouth and say stay, but I bitterly found that I couldn't carry it with my shoulders or lift it, so staying would be a burden.

"Okay, when the general is here, how can I find you?"

"No need to look for it." Gong Xiqiu said indifferently, "This kind of life mixed with bloodshed is not suitable for you."

The woman felt a pain in her heart.

Feeling powerless.

Gong Xiqiu looked at the moonlight: "That's where I grew up, it's my hometown. Maybe you can bring new life to it."

"Can't you, General?"

"You don't understand. I was supposed to die on the day the clan was exterminated. It was I who went against God's will and prayed to God to let me live until now. Over the years, I have done almost everything that is prohibited by clan monuments without being restrained by clan elders' sticks. , My physical body cannot return to that homeland." Gongxi Qiu said freely: "You don't need to be too sad, just wait for the physical body to be freed, and the wandering soul will return to her embrace under the guidance of God."

Women don’t understand the story behind Gong Xiqiu’s words.

but--

"If my slave is brave, can my parents give me a name?"

Gong Xiqiu looked at her puzzled.

But still complied with her request.

Speaking of which——

It seems that I have never asked her name.

He pondered for a while.

Said: "How about calling me 'Come'?"

ψ(｀)ψ

The woman's name comes from the Analects of Confucius: Those who have gone by cannot be admonished, but those who have come can still be pursued.

The past cannot be undone and discouraged, but there is still time to prevent and fight for the future.
