013 Snow Night
…
"You can't walk because of practice. I walked all the way and carried it all the way. You couldn't get food, so I gave it to you. You were cold in the winter, so we were crowded on the same kang. Now it's going to be a corner, so
Forgot all this...all forgotten...ahem..."
In the heavy snow, from the woodshed in the corner of the courtyard, hoarse and shrill screams came from, like ghosts seducing the wind, howling, crying, and coughing.
After all, the little leper still doesn't want to die. In the past, he said he wanted to die because he hadn't tasted delicious food, slept with women, or eaten good food. Now, he really doesn't want to die. He is only a teenager.
There are still a lot of days to live in the future, and since he has been growing up, he has never slept on such a comfortable hot bed that night.
He wants to live.
But the courtyard was deserted, and all the apprentices of the theater troupe went to the theater shed to practice. If anyone greeted him, they all hid far away, just treating him as a god of plague, as if he was really a grown-up.
If there is a ghost, there is no way to avoid it.
Snowflakes are flying.
"Cough cough - cough cough -"
Just when the little leper was coughing heartbreakingly, a figure appeared in the corridor.
Su Qing was like a tree, quietly looking at the face on the window of the woodshed that was struggling desperately to get out of the hole, looking at his face.
After a few days, the little leper has lost his hair, his hair is unkempt, his cheeks have become sunken, and his eye sockets are black, maybe he hasn't slept for a long time, and his eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes, as if they are about to bulge.
, he clung tightly to the opening of the food delivery hole, looking straight at Su Qing with his blood-red eyes.
"Xiao, Xiaoqing, please, help me, I don't want to die——"
As if seeing a savior, those gray and bloodshot eyes suddenly burst into light, and the hoarse throat kept trembling and became sharp.
Even from such a distance, Su Qing could vaguely hear the sound of hands scratching the wall.
He had never seen a ghost before, but the face in front of him was probably almost as good as a ghost.
Su Qing walked to the woodshed with rice in her hand. "I will be on stage in two days. I will send you rice back today!"
Looking at each other, Su Qing paused and pointed at the fatty meat slices in the pottery bowl. While holding it, he chuckled and said, "Do you still remember that in the past, there was no oil star all year round?"
, but it turned out that what you wanted to eat most in the end was not lean meat, but fatty meat, the kind that would burst with oil and juice when you bite into it. Haha, you even had a fight with a little stone for a piece of meat!"
As he said that, he put the bowl on the window sill.
"Xiaoqing, can you help me one more time, just for the last time? I really don't want to die!"
The little leper's face suddenly shrank back, and a dirty right hand with exposed outward nails stretched out to grab Su Qing, like a drowning man seeing a life-saving straw.
But the hole was so big that his hands only reached his shoulders and could no longer be stretched out. He was like a headless fly, grabbing randomly in the wind and snow.
Su Qing took a step back slightly.
At this step, the hand suddenly stopped, as if the people in the room had also seen this step. Then, the ghost-like face appeared at the mouth of the hole again, and the already bloodshot eyes became even redder, as if
It was almost bleeding, showing unspeakable resentment and hatred.
"Why are you hiding? Why are you hiding? How dare you, a stinky beggar, to look down on me? If it weren't for me, would you be where you are today? Could you be a hornet? You are just an ungrateful little beast - hahaha -"
Vicious curses poured out of the little leper's mouth. By the end of the curse, he spat with all his strength at the young man who stood silently in the wind and snow.
"——If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this. It's all your fault, you shameless bastard——"
But the young man had already backed away.
I don’t know how long he had been scolding, or maybe he was tired of scolding, but the little leper just reached out and took the bowl on the window edge and swallowed the meat slices in big mouthfuls.
"You are terminally ill and cannot be saved!"
Suddenly, in the howling wind and snow, Su Qing's cold voice sounded, as light as falling snow.
Fortunately, the little leper who was holding a bowl and eating in the room heard it. He lay down on the hole again with great joy, looked at Su Qing with hope in his eyes, and trembled: "It can be saved, as long as there is that human blood steamed bun,
I can live, really, it must be true!"
Su Qing looked at his indifferent appearance, and this time he nodded in a rare way, as if he didn't hear the previous vicious curse at all, but smiled like a flower blooming.
"Okay, it's all up to you. After dinner, have a good sleep. I'll bring you the stuff!"
Without looking at the little leper's face, Su Qing seemed to be unable to hear even his voice.
Turn around and leave.
"Have you eaten little leper?"
Xiaodouzi was standing on the corridor in costume. When he saw Su Qing coming back, he asked immediately.
Su Qing smiled.
"have eaten!"
He picked up the long sword standing by the wall.
"bass!"
Half of the sword was already unsheathed, with calm eyes. Su Qing only glanced at the gray sword, and stretched out his right arm again. The long sword was already unsheathed. He held it in a sword flower and sighed: "Oh, I'm afraid.
Seeing the snow, it’s a little rusty!”
But he seemed to have noticed something. He turned his head slightly and saw Xiaodouzi staring at him, his eyes a little blank. He couldn't help but said with a smile: "Look at what I am doing? I haven't practiced hard yet!"
Xiaodouzi shrank back as if he had woken up from a dream, and his face turned a little pale. He thought for a while and then said in confusion: "I don't know why, senior brother, I thought you were so scary just now!"
Su Qing slowly lowered her eyelids and only said one sentence.
"Practice!"
After saying that, the long sword in his hand vibrated, the breath in his mouth changed slightly, and he started to sing.
…
Two days in a row.
Su Qing gave the little leper food for two days. He practiced kung fu during the day and at night. He practiced the boxing skills taught by Lord Ma, and combined with the strange aura, his appetite gradually increased.
Until the last night.
It snowed heavily this night.
It's so vast and indistinct that you can't see the human world.
Listening to the faint meowing of a cat in the wind, Su Qing sat up on the bunk in the bedroom. He yawned and rubbed his sleepy eyes. His sleepiness disappeared in an instant. He listened to the blowing outside.
The young man murmured in the white-haired wind, "That's all, I'll just keep your last thoughts!"
Then he straightened his waist and nimbly rolled out of the bed, landing on his toes without any sound.
Then he carefully opened a crack in the door and squeezed out before the cold wind could drift in.
It was really a heavy snowstorm. As soon as I stepped out of the house, snow flakes hit my face, as if it had been scraped by a razor blade, and the sting was unbearable.
Su Qing couldn't open her eyes. She shivered and pulled out a scarf from the sleeve of her coat. She hurriedly put it on over her head, covering half of her face and breathing hot air from her mouth.
I saw a man standing not far away. He put his hands in his sleeves and walked over like a little old man.
"Otherwise, let's go there in the morning, the snow is too heavy!"
Prince Ma didn't know where he pulled a piece of black cloth, covered his face, and said angrily: "Okay, I don't care, anyway, it's not me who will go to Zhangzhai to sing!"
Su Qing has a straight waist.
"Go, go now!"
"Hey, let's go!"
The man laughed strangely, grabbed his shoulder, exerted force with his right hand, and raised his arm. Su Qing felt his feet light up, and his whole body had risen into the air. When he regained his composure, he lay down on the wall.
As soon as he reacted, he saw a black shadow in front of him. He took two lunges across his legs and easily climbed up the wall, dragging him down at the same time.
Then I saw two figures, one tall and one short, disappearing into the vast snow curtain in an instant.
