(This story is based on folklore)
Everyone saw a woman kneeling in front of the county lord, snorting and begging the county lord to let her go to the Wu kingdom, and people all covered their mouths and smiled.
The county lord asked, "Who are you?" Look up for me to see. ”
The woman slowly raised her head and said with a delicate look: "Lord Huixian, I am Dong Shi, and my family lives in the eastern part of Theauro Village, also known as Dongcun." I was born a day before Xi Shi, and on weekdays, I learned Xi Shi to walk and sing every day, and even she was angry and frowned, and I learned very seriously. That is to say, Xi Shi will be, I will, so I can participate in the beauty pageant to go to Wu Guo..."
Before she could finish speaking, the crowd was already laughing and rolling forward and backwards.
The county lord looked at Dong Shi's appearance, frowned, and said: "Your courage is commendable, but you are not suitable for participating in the beauty pageant to go to WuGuo, this beauty pageant list, as early as more than a month ago, the king was determined after strict review, I and others can not make changes." ”
After the county lord finished speaking, he then said to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan: "You shoulder the great responsibility of the life and death of our Yue kingdom, which is your duty as the people of the Yue country, and it is also the glorious mission given to you by the great king. ”
The words of the county lord were like a shackle firmly wrapped around Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's necks, leaving them speechless. If they do not go to the State of Wu, the State of Wu will once again send troops to attack the State of Yue and put the State of Yue at the time of its subjugation, then they will become sinners of the State of Yue for eternity. If they go to Wuguo, they may never have the opportunity to see the person they care about in this life, and this kind of parting pain can only be experienced in their hearts, and others cannot feel it.
In an instant, Xi Shi seemed to have grown up a lot, she seemed to understand many things and see through everything in the world. She did not cry anymore, nor was she sad anymore, but her heart was much more relaxed.
Instead, Zheng Dan and their aunts both cried into tears.
The crowd dispersed, and the county lord asked the samurai to carry the dowry to the two girls' homes, and ordered the samurai to leave a good life to protect the two girls, and returned home by themselves.
In fact, xi shi and Zheng Dan both knew in their hearts that the county lord was afraid that they would run away, or something would happen, and they would not be able to make a difference to the Yue king.
All night long, the aunts of the two girls could not sleep, and there were all kinds of reluctance and helplessness in their hearts.
Xi Shi comforted Aunt And said, "I will go to be loyal to the Yue Kingdom, and the Yue King will not treat you badly, you take good care of yourself at home, and when the Yue Kingdom becomes strong, it will be the day I return to China, and then I will return to our Ramie Village to accompany Auntie to spend your old age in peace." ”
Aunt Xi Shi tearfully took Xi Shi into her arms and said bitterly: "My heart, liver and flesh, I really can't give it up, but there is no way, if you don't obey the orders of the great king, you will become a sinner of the Yue Kingdom for eternity, if you go to the Kingdom of Wu, these thousands of miles, the days are long, and I don't know what kind of suffering you will suffer..."
The next day was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and the Yue King sent a famous general of the Yue Kingdom, zhu Jiyin, who was also one of the most powerful "Eight Doctors" of the Yue King, to come to receive Xi Shi and Zheng Dan.
As soon as the sky was dark, the county lord had already brought the generals and a group of warriors to the village of Ramadan, only to see that the generals were wearing yellow battle robes, wearing long swords at their waists, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a face of righteousness.
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were brought to the front of the generals, and Xi Shi looked at the generals with a serious face, and his heart could not help but be a little afraid, and he did not dare to look into the eyes that were shining with god, and he lowered his head.
The county lord said with a smile on his face: "Xi Shi, Zheng Dan, today is the generals who personally came to the ramie village to greet you, which shows how much the Yue King has lifted up the two girls, which is your honor." ”
Zhu Jiying smiled and said, "The two girls are for the national merit, and the lowly general should serve." ”
In Zheng Dan's heart, she didn't think so, she thought, this is the greeting, obviously it is the escort. Send a great general who has experienced hundreds of battles and is excellent in martial arts, obviously because he is afraid that we will run away.
Whether they liked it or not, Xi Shi and Zheng Dan were already unable to help themselves, and they bent down to pay tribute to the generals.
"Xi Shi has seen the generals."
"Zheng Dan has seen the generals."
The two said in unison, "There is General Laozhuo." ”
Zhu Jiyin sighed in his heart: "I didn't expect that we in Yueguo also have such a beautiful and superb woman, it is really a blessing in the Country of Yue, and there is hope for rejuvenation!" ”
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan's aunt, who said goodbye, got into the carriage.
The carriage slowly walked out of the ramie village, And Xi Shi lifted the curtains and saw that almost all the villagers in the eastern and western villages of the ramie village were lined up on both sides of the road, watching himself and Zheng Dan leave.
When the team reached the mouth of the village under the black tree, it suddenly stopped, and it turned out that the villagers had laid out a row of wine for Xi Shi and Zheng Dan at the mouth of the village. Xi Shi couldn't help but feel a heat in his heart, and Xi Shi, who had stopped shedding tears, burst out in an instant.
Zheng Dan was even more sad and began to cry.
The generals said kindly to Xi Shi and Zheng Dan: "Please ask the two girls to get out of the car and bid farewell to the villagers." ”
The samurai lifted the curtain and told the girls to get out of the car.
At this time, the aunts of the two girls also followed the team to the entrance of the village, and as soon as they got off the carriage, they saw two aunts walking with support.
"Auntie..." Xi Shi and Zheng Dan shouted almost in unison, shouting, and rushed over to hold their own aunt who was suffering.
Xi Shi's aunt said, "Child, go faithful to the country, I will take care of myself." ”
The eighteen sisters-in-law next to her said, "Sister Xi Shi, last night your eighteenth brother said that after you leave, I and your eighteenth brother will take care of your aunt for you, take care of her as your mother, and you can rest assured that you will go." ”
Xi Shi said gratefully, "Thank you Eighteen Sister-in-law, this kindness, Xi Shi will never forget." ”
At this time, Pu Shui came out of the crowd, his eyes were red, like a child, and said with a crying voice: "Xi Shi Sister, and me, I will also take care of your aunt for you." ”
Although Xi Shi had never given Pu Shui a good look, at this time, she could not help but feel compassion, shook Pu Shui's hand and said: "Pu Shui, you are a good person, a good person has a good reward, you will definitely find a better person to accompany you." ”
Zheng Dan fell into Auntie's arms, at this time, she saw a tall figure standing behind Auntie, wiping away tears, she saw clearly, it was Tian Feng.
"Brother Tian Feng..." Zheng Dan cried out in silence.
"Sister Zheng Dan..." Tian Feng said with tears.
"Brother Tian Feng, I have failed you..."
"Sister Zheng Dan, I don't blame you, and you can't help yourself... Rest assured, your aunt is my aunt, and I will take good care of her for you in the future. ”
"Thank you Brother Tian Feng, this kindness, Zheng Dan, I can only repay in the next life."
Xi Shi and Zheng Dan both knelt down, drank the wine, and bid farewell to the villagers!
The villagers all said with tears: "Be safe!" ”
Xi Shi got up and pulled up Zheng Dan, and his head did not return to the carriage. The carriage slowly advanced towards Zhuji City, out of a good road, Xi Shi dared to stick his head out of the car window and look back, only to see that the crowd waving goodbye at the mouth of the village was gradually shrinking, and the two aunts, under the support of the eighteen sisters-in-law and Tian Feng, kept walking towards the carriage, but in the end they were still thrown far away by the carriage, and gradually, their figures became smaller and smaller, more and more blurred.
Xi Shi gently shouted in his heart, "Goodbye Auntie, goodbye hometown!" ”
At this time, Zheng Dan couldn't help but envy Dong Shi in his heart, and he also had a worry about his unknown fate. Can't help but ask yourself: Beauty, for a girl, is it a blessing or a curse? (To be continued, the next episode is more exciting!) ）
