Chapter 2: It is difficult to be peaceful and happy

"What you said makes no sense. Everyone met by chance, and this time, I have only seen two or three sides. Whether it is life or death, it is your own choice. There is no need to ask me to show my ambition."

Xu You didn't even look at her, looked at the bright moon in the water, feeling the cold wind penetrated into the lungs through his nose, as if he was about to freeze the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys.

Lu Shuang stopped crying, lowered her head and silent for a while, then Yingying stood up, her pretty face showed a trembling beauty under the moonlight, remembering many things in this short life, she was discouraged for a moment, her expression turned calm, and said, "Since that is the case, I felt ashamed of my husband that night, I just hope to repay him again in the next life!" After that, she jumped and jumped into the cold river.

"What's wrong?"

"What happened?"

There was a noise in the cabin. Zuo Yu was the first to rush out. Seeing Lushuang in the water was almost over his head, he was shocked and immediately wanted to go down to save the person, but Xu You grabbed it with one hand.

"Langjun?"

"Let her go!"

Xu You shook his head, his eyes as if frozen, and his cold and ruthless look made people feel scared from the bottom of his heart. I wonder what he was thinking.

Zuo Qi was not sure about the reason, but he did not dare to disobey his orders, so he retreated to the side. At this time, the autumnal equinox put on his clothes and ran out. Seeing the scene in front of him, his little face turned pale and was about to ask Xu You to save someone. Zuo Qi winked at her and pulled her to whisper a few words. Qiuyi nodded in a daze. Although he didn't know what Xiaolang was going to do, since he wanted to do this, there was naturally a reason why he wanted to do this.

But, just Lushuang...

The father and daughter of the boat family also came out. The owner of the boat was named Ding and the youngest in the family, so he named Ji. He was almost forty years old and got a daughter, and named Ku'er. The father and daughter all year round have been running on the river and have seen too many strange things, so they are not panic and do not interfere.

This is the way to deal with the world and also the way to save your life, and there is nothing to blame!

Time passed by, Lu Shuang struggled in the river for a few times, and finally exhausted her strength and her body sank. Xu You frowned and waited for a while, but there was nothing unusual, and said, "Feng Hu, save her!"

"promise!"

Zuo Teng was about to enter the water, a short and thin figure took the lead and plopped into the water, like a swimming fish that was extremely flexible, swam quickly towards Lushuang.

"Ku'er, be careful..." Ding Ji shouted, but he wasn't worried. There were not many people on this river who were better than Ku'er's water.

...

Lu Shuang only felt that she had a cold and terrifying dream. In the dream, she returned to the wilderness that night. A few dead trees stood alone by the road. Crows flying from somewhere were lying on the almost broken branches. Her eyes that were eating people and eating red were staring at the bloody massacre.

Crying, shouting, begging for mercy, grim laughing, insulting, Ah Father fell in a pool of blood and struggled to reach out to the sky, Ah Mother lay on the muddy ground, her dress was torn to pieces, and several dirty and ugly men rushed to climb up...

"ah!"

Lu Shuang suddenly opened her eyes, a sense of disgust surged into her throat, she turned her head and vomited it out, and the stuffy air in her chest slightly weakened a little.

"Okay, this saliva should be fine. Just take care of it carefully and don't suffer from the wind and cold at night. You will be able to completely return to normal tomorrow."

Ding Ji is a professional. Since he said it was okay, it must be fine. He was still worried about the autumnal equinox and looked at Ding Ku'er again. The little girl was only twelve years old, black and thin, but her eyes were smart, but she didn't like to talk much.

"If you don't catch a cold, it's okay!"

The autumnal equinox breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and slowly lay down, covering her with a quilt. Ding Ji was a man after all, and it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, so he left with Ding Ku.

The autumnal equinox whispered and said, "It's okay, you take a rest first. I'll go and boil some hot water and come to scrub your body later to avoid catching a cold."

Lu Shuang escaped from death, looking at her sincere and caring face, her gratitude in her heart was beyond words, and she said, "I, I don't know what to say..."

"Don't say anything, don't think about it, and have a sleep. Mr. Ding said, your health is not serious, don't worry."

Having said that, she subconsciously looked outside the cabin. She didn't know what happened to Lu Shuang and Xiaolang, but she almost died. But she also knew that there were some things she could not ask, and she shouldn't ask. After all, Xiaolang had his plans and just followed his instructions.

Lu Shuang noticed the strangeness of the autumnal equinox, patted her hand gently, and said, "Where is the husband, right outside?"

"Well, since you were rescued, Xiaolang has been staying outside the cabin. Sister Lushuang, don't be surprised, Xiaolang won't really want... Woo!"

Lu Qian's fingers pressed on the lips of the autumnal equinox, and the white fingertips of snow-like red lips, which made people fascinated by the scene.

"I know, there will be no problem. Ah sister, can you help me invite my husband in?"

The autumnal equinox hesitated for a moment, nodded, and turned around and left the cabin.

The curtain hanging at the door opened from outside. Xu You walked to Lu Shuang, looked down at her face from above, and suddenly smiled and said, "I didn't think you are a cruel person. You jump as soon as you say, and you don't take your life seriously!"

Lu Shuang said softly: "That's because I know that the husband is a kind-hearted person and will never sit by and watch me die here."

"Ma Shan is ridden by someone, and he is bullied by someone, so you will definitely be able to take me?"

"I dare not! The husband misunderstood Lu Shuang's meaning..."

Lu Shuang forced herself to get up, and Xu You waved her hand and said, "Lying down, since I can't help but save you, I'm willing to accept the loss. I promise you to follow you to Qiantang all the way."

Lu Shuang was overjoyed. Regardless of Xu You's obstruction, she stood up and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Mr.!"

"I cried, made a fuss and hanged, and I have been waiting for thousands of years, so I can't change some new ways?" Xu You said helplessly: "Don't be happy first. When you arrive in Qiantang, you have to find another place. But don't worry about money. After all, I will give you 100,000 yuan when you meet, which is enough for you to find a place to stay.

Lu Shuang was silent for a moment, then raised her head and said, "Mr. Lang, is it because of that night that you hate me so much?"

"That's not!" Xu You said for this reason: "I don't even pursue the water and wild man around Yuan Sanniang. Why bother to make things difficult for you, a person who obeys orders? In fact, I don't hate you. I always stay away from anyone who is not very familiar with you!"

The meaning of this sentence is very clear. Xu You did not hate Lu Shuang, but was suspicious of her. After all, no one wanted to be surrounded by someone of unknown origin. Especially the matter was strange from beginning to end. Why did Yuan Qingqi give Lu Shuang to herself? Is it just to compensate for the mental damage he suffered that night?

Xu You would never dare to underestimate Yuan Qingqi's scheming, so he could not keep Lu Shuang by his side!

Lu Shuang is a smart person. He nodded and said, "I understand, and I don't have to go to Qiantang. I will enter Wuxian tomorrow. I will just let me get off the boat!"

Xu You said calmly: "It's good that way, but I only have more than 100,000 yuan on it. At most, I can only give you 30,000 yuan first. When I arrive in Qiantang, I will send someone to send the remaining amount."

"No need, I have money with me. Although I don't have much money, I should be able to live in the city for a while. And Wu County is not a strange place to me, and I will always find a place to stay."

Having said this, there was no need to continue. Xu You bowed and turned around and was about to leave, but he heard Lu Shuang say behind him: "Anyway, there is only midnight left. Can you talk to me?"

Xu You paused, then slowly let out a breath, walked to the side and sat down, and said, "What do you want to talk about?"

"What do you want to talk about?"

Xu You thought for a while and suddenly said, "What's your surname?"

Lu Shuang was stunned for a moment and said, "I...I don't have a surname..."

"People always have their origins. If they have their origins, they will have their surnames. They are not monkeys that pop out of stones. How come they don't have their surnames?"

Lu Shuang didn't understand what a monkey jumped out of the stone, but she also heard what Xu You meant. A sad look flashed through her eyes and said, "I was young and lived in the hands of a mess. I was less than three years old at that time and was abandoned by the wilderness. If I hadn't been rescued by the mother of Qi, I would have died in the mouth of the wolf. There was only a little vague memory in my mind, and as for whom I was named, I forgot."

"You are also a pitiful person..." Xu You sighed and said, "What happened to you later? Why did you go to Yuan's Mansion?"

"I was taken to Qingle Building in Wu County by the Qi mother. I was taken care of by my mother and taught me to use poetry, songs, calligraphy, painting, piano and music. At the age of thirteen, I was always attracted by the writers. I took me to Yuan's mansion for 200,000 yuan and became a singing girl..."

Qingle Tower, as the name suggests, is also a brothel. However, the name brothel was not a synonym for prostitutes at the beginning. It was everywhere in ancient Yuefu poems, depicting beautiful women living in high-rise buildings. Emperor Wu of Qi built Xingguang Tower and painted green lacquer, which was called "brilliant house", which was the residence of the emperor. However, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the trend of raising prostitutes began to prevail. Most of the princes and nobles and wealthy families spent huge amounts of money to build high-rise buildings and raise prostitutes to entertain the sound and colors. The images of these family prostitutes overlapped with the images of women in ancient Yuefu poems, so they gradually began to use brothels as romantic places for sensual and colorful places. To be honest, the real combination of brothels and advocates was a poem by Liu Miao of the Southern Dynasty, "The prostitutes are unwilling to worry about, and they end up going down brothels." Yuan Mei, a great talent in the Qing Dynasty, said that this poem was "almost called the beginning of brothels".

However, Lu Shuang actually grew up in Wu County since she was a child, which made Xu You not expect. No wonder she said she was not unfamiliar with Wu County just now, so that's it!

"Writing Man?" Xu You couldn't remember who was the official title in Yuan's mansion and said, "Which Writing Man?"

Lu Shuang's face was pale and she mustered up a lot of courage to name the person, and said, "It was Yuan Erlang. He had just moved to the position of the Bookman at the beginning of the year, so it was no wonder that the husband didn't know."

Xu You suddenly realized that he was Yuan Qingqi's second brother Yuan Zheng, whose courtesy name was Pinggao. I remember that he was a doctor of the Central Secretariat two years ago. He was promoted to the sixth grade writer in just one year. He was so fast.

The book Lang is a historian. Since Cao Wei, historians have been very strict in selecting personnel. He can hold this position in his early twenties. He is both pure and important and has a bright future!

"Since you have followed Yuan Pinggao, with the Yuan family, you will not be afraid of any more hunger and cold, and you can be harmonious with poetry and prose, and add fragrance to your red sleeves. You will be lonely all your life, so you have a lifelong sustenance... Why..."

Before Xu You finished speaking, Lu Shuang continued, "Why are you here to harm you again? Do you want to ask this?"
