Love Like The Galaxy.

Chapter 44

After a few days of rest, the emperor's decree arrived on the fourth day.

First, the old Cheng County magistrate was rewarded with Chinese words, "broad kindness and righteousness, benevolent to the people, benevolent to future generations, and the world's most virtuous doctors to compete with each other." Goods: Posthumously seal the magistrate of Laocheng as a second-class Guanneihou, and after his eldest grandson is crowned, he will be awarded a title and an official rank of 600 shi, and he will be given 10,000 yuan of money.

Seeing that her niece was half-understood, Sang hurriedly explained in her ear: Just when the grandson of Old Master Cheng came of age, he could automatically obtain an official position at the level of the 600-stone official rank. As for whether it is an important job or an idle job, it depends on the child's own ability - this is already a very generous reward.

Shao Shang sighed, thinking that this emperor is still a good way. If it wasn't for the emperor's kindness and soft-heartedness, he didn't take the time to deal with the rebels, how could Huaxian and Chengfu encounter this bloody catastrophe!

Sang Yu, the elder brother of the Sang family, was also accompanied to announce the decree. Mrs. Cheng led her two grandchildren to bow to thank the emperor, and then asked Cheng Zhi and his wife to accompany Sang Yu to the side hall to speak. Coupled with the young merchant, the four of them sat around the charcoal basin. Because it was not easy to eat and drink beside the old Cheng county magistrate's mourning hall, Cheng Zhi could only serve a bowl of hot honey syrup to his wife and brother.

The brothers and sisters of the Sang family are very similar, they all look like passers-by, but Sang Yu has been an apprentice for many years, and he has a lot of poetry and books on his body. He held the cup and didn't drink, and first asked about his sister's injury.

Sang Shi smiled and said, "I have eaten and slept well in the past few days, and I have changed my medicine every day. It's much better. It's all skin injuries, but no bones or muscles."

Sang Yu breathed a sigh of relief and brought a second piece of news to everyone. , said that the emperor ordered Cheng Zhi to temporarily replace the magistrate of Huaxian County to appease the people and eliminate disasters in the township; it is estimated that the decree will arrive tomorrow and later.

Shao Shang secretly scolded his uncle for his good luck, and politely asked, "Master Sang, why didn't you send this edict together today?" This journey ended with the couple entertaining famous scholars and scholars. The last two sentences.

Sang Yu had learned from the letter from the family that his sister loved Cheng's family's daughter very much. At this time, seeing the girl's eyes were bright and bright, and thinking that after her sister's injury, it was thanks to her little girl's careful care, and she was so close to her heart that she smiled. Said: "Your Majesty is merciful. In order to fear that the old county magistrate's family will be hurt, he will send an order one or two days later."

Shao Shang was speechless. She never thought that the Supreme Emperor was so kind and considerate.

Seeing her dazed appearance, Mrs Sang smiled and said to her brother, "She, she complained to me a few days ago that His Majesty was not ruthless enough. Wouldn't there have been nothing else but Fan Chang earlier?"

Shao Shang was shocked. With a sound of 'Oops', she scratched Sang's waist in dissatisfaction, and Sang's backhand scratched her little nose.

Sang Yu shook his head and sighed: "There are probably not a few people who think like this now, but how does the world know the difficulty of Your Majesty. That Fan Ni has a lot of merit in following the dragon, and there is nothing else besides his temper. Before showing up, I just took him down on the basis of rumors... this, this..." He stroked the five strands of literati beard under his chin, and said, "Besides, we have always shared weal and woe, and we have always been in trouble. Young hero, now it is said outside that His Majesty will also follow suit, not to avoid instability...cough..."

Shao Shang nodded secretly, and there is some truth in saying this.

After thinking about this matter, she said crisply: "Uncle, I will go to the front mourning hall to guard you. You and Master Sang have a good talk, don't be in a hurry." I instructed the cook to cook the meat soup with scallion leaves and mushroom sauce, my uncle can't eat it, we poured it on the hot wheat rice with my uncle to eat."

Cheng Zhi was originally in a gloomy mood, but at this time he patted the floor and scolded with a smile: " You kid, even if you look at your uncle, don't show it to everyone!"

Shao Shang immediately said, "I even cooked soup with bones last night to make soup cakes for you!"

"That's not Old Master Cheng. Did someone tell you to cook one more bowl!" Cheng Zhi felt angry when he thought about it, "Otherwise you only plan to cook for their grandparents and grandchildren! I hurt you in vain!"

Shaoshang was in a hurry: "Uncle is a big stupid beetle, you can eat it well if the old lady has spoken! Humph, there is no soup for you tonight!" He stomped his feet and walked away angrily. Cheng Zhi stared at the back and blew his beard. The Sang brothers and sisters all collapsed on their seats with a smile.

When the girl walked out the door, Sang Yu wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and said to his sister, "You niece is smart, cute, and lovable." Then he turned to his sister-in-law and said, "This county is fine, but the villages outside the county are fine. You have to be diligent and considerate, you might be able to fill the post of county magistrate."

Who knew that Cheng Zhi shook his head and said in a low voice, "It is natural to be diligent and considerate, otherwise I would be sorry for the people under Jiuquan. Boss. But I still won't make up for this lack. I'll let my brother find another place next year."

Sang Yu frowned and was about to express his disapproval, but Sang hurriedly grabbed it and said softly, "I It's the same as Zirong's meaning. If we hadn't been wandering all the way, but had arrived at the county town a few days earlier, Zirong would have also gone out of the city to kill the thief, and his life and death would be uncertain. Now the old man sacrificed himself for righteousness, but we are fine, Zirong Ruobu In the future, it is inevitable to be criticized by those who are conscientious, saying that those who are frivolous and comfortable will be blessed, but those who are loyal to their duties will suffer."

Sang Yu stroked Hu, thought for a while, and said, "That's right. Don't worry about where you go, I know. Several small counties can fill in the lack of magistrates, alas... it's not as prosperous as here."

As the emperor crushed the heroes one by one and conquered the lands, in fact, many local officials were needed. But it is also the county seat. There are tens of thousands of prosperous counties like Huaxian County in Qing County, and there are also small and barren counties with only hundreds of thousands of households. Going there to be the county magistrate is not as good as being the county magistrate in Hua County. oily water.

"It doesn't matter." Cheng Zhi said seriously, "I should also learn to establish my own household and protect one side of the people like an old man. That is..." He looked at the Sang family, "If you go back to the capital, I will take office by myself. "

Sang Shi twisted hard on her husband's waist and stared: "If you want to go back, go back yourself, give me the official seal, and I will take office for you! In the early years, I followed my brother to nowhere, so I need you to come. Lianxiangxiyu!"

Cheng Zhi covered his waist with a sigh, and said angrily, "What do women know, I'm here for your own good!"

"Okay!" Sang Yu had a headache when he saw this scene, "Where did I get to this point, am I going to find a place for Zirong to make trouble for people?! General Cheng won't agree! After His Majesty has finished his tour of Yanzhou, then Qingzhou, and then he will return to the capital before he can officially be appointed an official."

After saying this, he became more and more angry, pointed at his sister's nose, and said loudly, "You, give it to me. I have a bad leg injury, otherwise don't even think about going anywhere!" He pointed at his sister-in-law again, "You, take care of yourself and me, don't make a mess! Otherwise, go back to Bailu Mountain to study for my father!"

Roar After this meal, seeing the appearance of the couple being careful not to make a fool of themselves, the admired Master Sang finally felt much more comfortable. After heaving a long sigh of relief, he said, "Go, tell Lingling to prepare dinner as well. I'll go back to His Majesty tomorrow morning."

Sang raised his head and said strangely: "Huh? Didn't you say that His Majesty will leave the camp in a few days to go to Shanyang County, and brother won't go back and pack your bags immediately?"

Sang Yu said helplessly: "These two days Your Majesty is throwing a tantrum, I have to hide, I have already let Tong Er pack my luggage."

Cheng Zhi also felt strange: "Is Your Majesty indignant about Fan's treason?" All the heads of his subordinates were hung up and dried, so how could he be angry?

"Why is it for this?" Sang Yu squeezed his beard and smiled wryly, "Two days ago, Fan Chang and those bastards who were instigating rebellion were caught and killed by Shiyi Lang. This was a good thing... He paused for a while, "Who would have thought that Shijilang fell head-first when he was reporting back to the imperial court. Only then did His Majesty know that he had been injured for several days, but he kept concealing it and insisted on chasing down the traitor. Now he is sick with a high fever and is in a coma. Uh, no, people were already awake when I came out."

Cheng Zhi and Sang Shi looked at each other, Sang Shi smiled and said, "Since people are awake, why is Your Majesty losing his temper?"

Sang Yu said with anger and laughter. : "Your Majesty walked back and forth in front of Shijilang's sick bed, and repeatedly said, telling him to quickly become his own son, otherwise no one will die!"

"Eleventh Lang refused?" Cheng Zhi said.

"Bullshit! How could His Majesty lose his temper if he is willing!" Sang Yu said feebly, "Later, when he was in a hurry, Shirou said that he would like to marry someone he loves like his uncle, and he does not want to be resentful and disgusted like his parents. I hate it for half my life."

Cheng Zhi clapped his hands and smiled: "As soon as you say this, Your Majesty will have no choice."

Sang Yu said angrily: "If he doesn't say this, His Majesty can't do anything about him! Four years ago, Yuchang The county chief remarried him, and His Majesty wanted to force him to get married, but he rode to the northwest by himself, but he happened to meet a barbarian criminal, and almost died there! After that, how dare His Majesty dare to force him! His Majesty can't face Eleven Lang loses his temper, so he can't take his anger on others?!"

Cheng Zhi couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty pity Shiji Lang's difficulties and difficulties, raising him like a parent and child. In fact, if he really doesn't want to get married, why not take a concubine and have a child first? "Actually, it doesn't matter whether you get married or not, the focus is on the husband and the child.

Sang Yu drank the sugar water in one gulp and said, "Concubine Concubine, hum, do you think Your Majesty didn't give it? Others didn't give it? But Shiji Lang is also weird. Those concubines come and go, but no one has served them for a long time, let alone. Heirs. Oh, forget it, I will go back to Bailu Mountain after accompanying His Majesty to tour Qingzhou, I am really uncomfortable in the days of driving with him!"

Sang's thoughts did not say a word, and he did not mention the matter after that.

After the three-day wake-up call, Cheng Zhi immediately devoted himself to the post-disaster reconstruction work in full swing. Because Sang's leg was injured, in addition to dealing with the ladies of the county town to ask for food, many of the other auxiliary work was honestly and rudely assigned to his good niece.

When Shao Shang was studying, he heard a saying that until the founding of New China, the control of the locality by the dynasties of our country could only go to the county level at most, and the local governance of units below the county basically relied on the clan gentry and other indigenous forces.

Before she came here, she didn't understand what it meant. How could she not be able to control it? In the village, there are the village committee and the village party secretary. The whole set is complete, tax collection, gambling, pornography, and black population statistics are one-stop.

But now, the young merchants fully understand.

Huaxian is also a not-so-small county, with a permanent population of 10,000 households, a county magistrate, an official rank of a thousand shi (less than a thousand shi), a county magistrate (Cheng Zhi), and an official rank from 400 shi to 1,000 shi. 600 shi, in charge of civil affairs, taxation, household registration, etc., and two county magistrates with an official rank of 2 to 300 shi, in charge of public security.

In other words, in such a large county, with a population of tens of thousands, there are only four officials established by the state! Four! The rest of the auxiliary staff are staffed by the officials themselves.

Therefore - the

old Cheng county magistrate has four or five staff members, and the other soldiers brought in from the family will write memorials and documents in Taiping, and when there are troubles, people can be arrested to beat the board.

The chief of Xiaocheng County kept two or three disciples, and his elder brother sent a steady stream of battle-hardened generals to guard him.

Even the two local snake county magistrates also have a group of little brothers to follow, and on weekdays, they shout at the street market and among the shops to maintain order.

Originally, Shao Shang wanted to ask 'what if the magistrate who took office had no money and no one would do it', but then he thought that this question was too mentally handicapped. At this time, it was not the imperial examination system. . Nowadays, most of them are recruited by imperial court and celebrities. To put it simply, those who can become officials, no matter whether they are from a family or not, are basically people with backgrounds.

Taking Yuan Shen as an example, he meets all the above conditions—his father is a state shepherd, a well-known official in the frontier, and he can absolutely nominate his excellent son to be an official in the court; his N teachers are either the great scholars of the world or the Imperial Academy. Boss, you can also recommend your proud disciples to work. But he took the third way. At the age of 18, he was a blockbuster in the classics, and was conscripted by the emperor himself.

Of course, there are exceptions to saving the country by curve.

Ruyi, the county chief under the next-door Senior Brother Gongsun came from an ordinary farm family, but he was smart and extraordinary since he was a child.

For example, the current governor of Dongjun originally came from a family of hawkers in the market, but he found business opportunities in the turbulent times and accumulated a lot of money by selling horses. Based on this, he donated a small post after the war to pass the official addiction, and it can be regarded as a shining lintel. This time, his immediate boss made a mess, and he responded face to face with hype, and kept saying that he would donate all his family property for the great cause, and then turned his head and surrendered to the emperor.

—— Shao Shang couldn't help but cocked his big toe for this Jun Cheng, talent!

Shao Shang originally thought that this mode of appointment as an official was not conducive to the advancement of talents at the bottom, but looking at the heavy bamboo slips in his hands, he felt that this idea was superfluous. Talents at the bottom of the scale go up - this is the reality.

For example, she is now standing in the medical hut in the corner of Xicheng, which doubles as a shelter and a porridge shed. A small official comes to ask: The

day before yesterday, 30 dendrobium old rice was delivered, and yesterday, 40 dendrobium mixed beans were delivered. Kou Guo can provide rations for 20 people every day, and use three parts of old rice and one part of miscellaneous beans to make thick bean porridge. There are more than 1,200 people outside, at least about how much old rice is needed by Mr. Xiao Cheng today. How many beans?

In the other room, the doorman Cheng Zhi sent to help hadn't made up his mind yet. The young merchant took a branch and drew a few equations on the ground to figure it out, which made the little official close his mouth in shock.

Shaoshang was also taken aback. She clearly remembered that as long as it didn't involve advanced numbers and above, Sang's mental arithmetic was much faster than her own formulas, and the results were not much different. That doorman is still a literate person. As for the rest of the people in the shed, they have no idea what the Shaoshang are talking about. Some of the wild and undeveloped ones can't even count the basics, let alone addition, subtraction, multiplication and addition.

Shao Shang suddenly found that he needed to work hard to suppress greed, because it was too easy to deceive these farmers and hunters. When collecting furs and grains, a little bit of manipulation with numbers would be worthless! ——Slapped to death the profiteer gene that Dad Liang Bo had inherited from him, Shao Shang stubbornly worked hard, and resolutely drove away these evil thoughts.

Because the Tiger Ben army arrived in time, the time that the gangsters could commit the crime was actually only half a day. Even if they worked overtime and raped and looted, the damage to the population and economy was still limited.

Today, more than 1,200 people in this shed belong to the hardest hit households. Not only have their houses been burned down, their families have been killed and maimed, and their property and food have also been looted. Even if there are relatives' homes to shelter in, the injuries on the body cost a lot. Therefore, Cheng Zhi specially set up a medical hut here to accommodate the people in the village who suffered from scourges for treatment and treatment.

Shaoshang: Sure enough, seeing a doctor has always cost money.

Originally, the Sang family didn't want Shaoshang to come to such a place, but Shaoshang felt that he was in a low mood by accompanying the orphans of the old Cheng county magistrate's family all day long.

Sang wanted to respect her opinion, so she had to agree.

At this time, the medical level was still very rough, and the treatment of trauma was mostly three-dimensional. At most, a suture with high technical content is added, and it is threaded into the flesh with twine, which makes the heart tremble. Don't think about antibiotics, the most advanced treatment is to let the sorcerer dance and sing the curse song on the side!

Originally, Shao Shang wanted to drive all these superstitious people out for a meal, but after seeing such a trick, there were actually many wounded people who had the courage to survive - so the atheist Cheng Xiaoniang politely asked The sticks of the gods perform a performance every few days, and the remuneration is easy to say. After a long time, the county has a good reputation of admiring the heaven and earth and respecting the gods.

The medical hut accommodated all those who suffered disasters during the military chaos. Naturally, there was no good atmosphere. Everyone had a tragic story. If it were an ordinary little girl, she would probably cry dozens of times a day, and she would be so cold and merciless as Shaoshang. Hard-hearted people HOLD live.

He stuffed the intestines that flowed out, sewed up his belly while screaming in the sky, and cut off the stump of the skin and flesh. Without anesthesia, he could only endure it, and put medicine on the burnt black and red flesh. Oil...

Facing the medics, apprentices and helpers summoned from the entire county town, Shao Shang stood in the middle of commanding with an expressionless face. Daily mobilization of food, medicine and water, registration of the names and places of origin of those who have died and those who have recovered from injuries, deployment of manpower to take care of the injured, arranging work and rest shift schedules, and careful statistics of expenditure and income to avoid waste and corruption.

Cheng Zhi originally only wanted to let his niece survive for a few days, and when he took his hands off the repair of the city defense, he would send another reliable person to manage the medical house.

These days, she gets up almost before dawn and rushes to the medical house from the county office. She only returns when it is dusk, and she works at least fifteen hours a day; , anyway, there are alternate guards and maids guarding him.

If you say that at first she just took refuge outside to avoid the crowded county government, but later it seemed that there was an inexplicable anxious and violent force behind her, urging her to persevere day after day.

The fifth day of the medical house——

Faced with a group of wounded patients who were either crying bitterly or with their hearts ashes, Shao Shang was able to deal with it indifferently:

"Cry, what's the use of crying, if you have the strength, you can quickly bite the doctor's hand. The wood, hold on to your bones!"

"Stop screaming, it's not just being bullied. Ah, bullied several times, what's the difference between once and several times. Your fiancé-in-law has been waiting outside for two days, waiting for you to be well. Go back and get married. If you are not good, I will match him and find another bride!"

"Your father and brother were chopped off and their limbs were chopped off alive? I am very sorry. But if you die, there will be so many fields in the family. You have to give it to someone else, so you should hurry up and get a daughter-in-law to give birth to one, two, three, four or five, so that you can bring back the days of your father and brothers."

"What, your mother and sister were tortured to death? Fortunately, you are a Man, thieves are straight, otherwise your chrysanthemums will turn into sunflowers." - This sentence is a slander.

On the 10th day of the medical house -

When Shao Shang wrote "Twelve people have recovered from injuries today, they have returned; 31 people have been injured and moved out of the house", she deeply felt that the most important thing at the moment is to spread knowledge rather than develop paper. develop medical care.

Even if she tries her best to improve the sanitary conditions, cook, wash and wrap, eat and sleep clean, and ensure the indoor temperature, it still depends on everyone's physical fitness in the end. Go out of town.

But after all, not everyone has Ling Budo's stubborn energy and strong physique. As of this day, there are only two or three hundred of the first 1,200 people left. One-third of the people who have left have become dead, and the corpses are either brought back by their families for burial, or burned into ashes and sprinkled into waste graves.

On the 15th day of the medical cottage, it rained heavily -

Shao Shang fell down beside a quiet sickbed in the inner hall, holding a small cold hand tightly in both hands, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The girl on the sickbed was not yet thirteen years old. She was born with beautiful eyebrows and a large dimple on her cheek. She used to have a happy family, but unfortunately her home was built at the entrance of the village, and she couldn't even escape when the bandits came on horseback.

She watched the whole family being slaughtered and was stabbed in the abdomen after being brutally gang-raped. Kind neighbors picked up the dying girl from the burnt house and took care of her for a few days, but she didn't get better, so she sent it to the county doctor. Lu.

The little girl's will to survive is very strong. She gritted her teeth and endured the severe pain of changing dressings and sutures again and again. Even in a coma, she muttered that she wanted to survive and take revenge. When she was awake, she would tell people how her parents and brothers loved her when she was a child. Shao Shang tried his best to take care of her, wrapped her wounds with medicine and changed her clothes, and kept encouraging her in his ears, praying to the gods and Buddhas in the sky not to let the child die.

Just live, just live.

But she still went, with endless pain and unwillingness. Before she died, she opened her eyes wide and said to Shaoshang, "Young lady is a great kind and great virtue, the little girl will report to her in the next life..."

Watching the girl's body being carried away, it took more than half a month for her to report. Hard work and resentment hit together, Shao Shang was choked with crying and trembling all over. With tears in her eyes, she remembered the little maid who also had dimples on her face and loved to listen to her playing the flute. She didn't even see her corpse, or perhaps there was no corpse at all...

Shao Shang suddenly wanted to go home and return to that place. A small town with cold eyes is also better than here. Because there, she was not afraid of anything. When someone ridiculed her, she could scold her a hundred times over; if someone bullied her, she could always find an opportunity to retaliate back; and in the end, everyone in the town looked at her with admiration.

But here, she is so powerless! She can't do anything! I could only shrink in the inner hall and cry weakly...

After crying for a long time, my head hurt, the guard hurried in from outside and reported: "Miss, there is a gentleman surnamed Wei Lou outside who wants to see you.

Shao Shang bluffed to his feet, wiped his tears with his sleeves, and rushed out with a murderous look; the two maids looked at each other, and just after they persuaded the young lady for a long time to stop crying, why did she immediately stop crying ? Do not cry.

Shao Shang quickly stepped out of the inner hall, slammed open the curtain of the outer hall, and saw Lou Yao standing there, who had been separated for two months, with three or five servants beside him.

Lou Yao also seemed to have traveled a long way, his face was full of wind and frost, and the clothes under his robe were half wet. When he saw Shaoshang at first glance, his face was full of joy, but before he could open his mouth to say half a word, Shaoshang walked over like a gust of wind, and silently grabbed Young Master Lou's sleeve and dragged it out.

In terms of strength, the three young merchants can't drag Lou Yao, but Lou Yao can't compare his strength with a girl. Of course, he was dragged to the courtyard outside the house along with the young merchants. A few servants have their own eyes and won't come forward to "protect the master" .

Shao Shang plunged into the pouring rain, his eyes were red, and he said loudly: "What are you doing! Come and threaten me again!" Now she is really fed up with these young ladies who were born in the comfort zone!

The rain poured down, and the girl wet most of her clothes in a blink of an eye. Seeing something was wrong, Lou Yao quickly took off the hoodie on his shoulders and put it on the girl, stammering: "No, I said it last time, I admire you very

much..." The young man pushed the boy away . The scorpion in his hand roared and screamed: "Shut up! Who wants you to admire me! You don't know who I am! You 'admirate' when you see three colors, you ignorant Shuzi, do you know these days? What happened to Yanzhou?! Do you still think about this worthless 'admiration'? You are full! Let me tell you, I am a biting and mean person, who will pay for revenge, a narrow-minded, vicious-hearted, full of sneaky but no-nonsense Half a point of ability! Only relying on the protection of my father and brother to show my teeth and claws until now, it is really useless! What's there to 'admiration'..."

Lou Yao disregarded the girl's self-indignity and kept talking, he stepped forward and grabbed it, struggling to put the cloak over her head and shoulders, and then stepped back three steps in a row, pumping up the strength in his chest, and shouting like thunder: " You listen to me first!"

Shao Shang was taken aback, and he covered his mouth blankly while wrapping his scorpion.

Lou Yao took a deep breath, but because of the rain all over his face, he almost sucked the water into his nostrils, and after a few embarrassed coughs, he said loudly, "I will say goodbye to you outside the capital that day. Well, in fact, I told my mother that I wanted to marry you as soon as I went back to Wanjia Banquet! At first, my mother laughed at me, so I knelt in front of her house... I knelt for about half a stick of incense... Only then did my mother agree. Go to Yanzhou and ask your father about this."

Shaoshang was stunned: Banzhuxiang, it's so short, your mother seems to be very talkative.

Lou Yao continued: "Who knew that you would leave the capital so soon, so I came to chase after you and wanted to tell you. I, I am not a disciple, not a frivolous person, I really admire you.

" Here, he was a little shy, "After your convoy set off, I actually went back to pack up immediately and rushed to my father in Shanyang County. I, I want to tell my father that you are a very good woman."

Shao Shang Laughing, almost to tears: "I, I'm fine?" This is the best joke she's heard since she was born.

Lou Yao was soaked all over at this time, he wiped his face, and said firmly: "Yes, you are very good. You are brave and witty. You dare to say what others dare not say, and dare to do what others dare not do! Since I was a child, I was taught to take a step back and give way to He Zhaojun. But I don't want to! Do you want to be cowardly and endure?!"

"I think...I want to be as fearless as you! I don't want to be mediocre and cowardly like before." .

"Five days ago, my father promised you and me to get married, and he has sent someone back to the capital to let my mother propose marriage to the Cheng residence. I, I will come to see you first..."

"Don't listen to what others say, and then insult yourself. I have inquired about you, but you are not what you are rumored to be! I believe in my own eyes! You must also believe in yourself!

" The fervent sincerity radiated seems to have evaporated this biting chill into nothingness.

Shao Shang looked at him blankly, and a warm feeling came from his heart. Although it is only a small warmth like a night light, it is enough to give people hope.

She doesn't feel cold anymore.
