Chapter 3: This is not her world

Just staring at the charcoal fire in the stove, the sleepiness slowly struck.
Li Jingnan in the bed was very restless. He saw that Hua Qingxue hadn't slept, so he pushed her with her elbow, "Hey, tell a story."
Hua Qingxue pouted, "Where are so many stories to tell..."
A few nights ago, Li Jingnan had a nightmare in the middle of the night. After waking up, he never dared to fall asleep. Hua Qingxue kindly told a story to coax him to sleep. Unexpectedly, he remembered him.
"Speak, speak, whatever you want."
Through the faint dim light, Hua Qingxue saw Li Jingnan's black eyes sparkling, and his heart slowly softened.
"...Well, then I will tell one." Hua Qingxue thought, and said slowly, "However, today we will not tell the story, anyway, you are also a prince, let me tell you about Parkinson's law." "
Li Jingnan blinked and lay on the side next to Hua Qingxue, especially well-behaved.
Hua Qingxue recalled the knowledge in his mind while talking: "Parkinson's law, also known as official disease, or tissue paralysis, Parkinson's law explains such a phenomenon... Once incompetent people occupy leadership positions , Complex institutions and excessive redundancy are inevitable, and the phenomenon of mediocrity occupying a high position is also inevitable, and the entire institutional system will form a vicious expansion... into a quagmire that is difficult to extricate..."
As the night grew thicker, only the woman whispered slowly in the warm and humble hut...
...
This night, Hua Qingxue had a very bizarre dream.
She dreamed of Li Jingnan.
Unlike the usual high toes in front of her, Li Jingnan in the dream appeared weak and helpless. He knelt on the ground, his upper body fluttered in front of a large and large bed, and he bowed and choked.
Hua Qingxue walked over to comfort him, but she shouted several times, but Li Jingnan in the dream seemed to not hear her voice at all.
While crying, Li Jingnan said, "Father and Emperor, your son will listen to you and study hard, and you will never make Tai Fu angry again... Father and Emperor, you will be well..."
Hua Qingxue saw this, there was a person lying on the bed-
It was a middle-aged man with a very haggard face. Although he was haggard, his clothing and posture were extremely delicate, and even the beard on his chin was decorated very elegantly.
Since Li Jingnan called his father emperor, then he is the emperor of Daqi?
Hua Qingxue looked at him curiously.
The emperor seemed to be very ill and angry, but his expression was calm, and the conversation room naturally carried a kind of human prestige.
"... I have been in Daqi for fourteen years, the Liao people in the north are pushing forward, the west is staring at the tiger, and there are pirates in the east. I am exhausted... However, I am not reconciled! ... Mozhou has lost its guard. That Panlong Mountain is on the edge of Mozhou, if the weapon was discovered by the Liao people! I think about it!......cough cough! cough cough cough cough........."
"Father Emperor, Father Emperor!" Li Jingnan panicked, and he reached out his hand to caress the emperor's chest.
The emperor's cough slowly subsided.
"Father and Emperor don't need to worry, the children and ministers will find the weapon here, and never let the Liao people find the weapon!"
The emperor smiled miserably.
"My son is pure filial piety, and my heart is gratified...... But this matter is not easy, I am afraid that once it spreads, I will become a laughing stock of the world. I am not afraid of becoming a laughing stock, I am afraid of becoming an ancient sinner, Jing Nan my son, you and Remember my words-Panlong Mountain has the weapon of the country, and if it cannot be obtained, it will be destroyed! Never let this weapon fall into the hands of the Liao people!"
"Yes, the son-in-law obeys the decree!..."
Then, the weak emperor said something intermittently, and Li Jingnan nodded with tears.
Hua Qingxue looked at this scene and felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She knew that the emperor was explaining his last words, and Xiao Jingnan must also know...
After the emperor on the bed finished speaking, his momentum suddenly weakened a lot, and his eyelids fell deep.
Li Jingnan was still crying by the bed, a sad and solemn atmosphere filled the surroundings, and Hua Qingxue's mood became heavy.
But suddenly! The emperor's eyes opened wide!
He looked directly at Hua Qingxue, his eyes shined! The pupils are enlarged!
Hua Qingxue was taken aback by the emperor! I just think that those eyes have to see through them! Very shocked!
Wow!
Hua Qingxue opened her eyes, she saw the hazy dawn through the window slits, she felt relaxed and sat up slowly.
Li Jingnan beside him slept soundly, and Hua Qingxue didn't want to wake him up. She felt that this year old child's sleep is very important, both long and brain.
Hua Qingxue got up and set the stove up a bit more, and added carbon to it, while the clothes in the tub from the back end walked out lightly.
It snowed for half a night last night, and now a thick layer has fallen in the courtyard, reflecting the morning sun, dazzling and dazzling.
Hua Qingxue's mood relaxed a lot because of the sunny day. The weather was better and the clothes could dry faster.
The red and swollen hand had cracked a few mouths, itching so badly that it hurt so much when touched.
Hua Qingxue had no time to take care of her. While drying her clothes, she was thinking about what happened to her during this time.
As a person who has lost his memory, it is impossible to say that he is not curious about his identity.
When Li Jingnan discovered her, she collapsed on the mountain road, wearing only a half-sleeved skirt, which was unreasonably thin.
Dressed like this, and ran into the deep forest in the cold winter twelfth lunar month, apparently to death.
But she did not remember why she entered the mountain, nor how she entered the mountain.
Since this month, she has taken care of her body and remembered many things intermittently, but most of them are vaguely outlined, not clear enough.
The only thing she can be sure of is that the place where she has stayed before is definitely not what she is now.
At least there, when she explained a simple chemical reaction principle, she would not be treated as nonsense.
Maybe when I remember more...
A little more... you can know what's going on...
...
Today the weather is good, Hua Qingxue does not have to waste time to bake clothes, she intends to go out and try her luck.
Before she knew when someone would come to rescue them, she had to find a way to feed herself and her eight-year-old prince.
Hua Qingxue finished all her clothes, simply boiled a pot of porridge in the house, and then told Li Jingnan his plans.
It is obviously not possible to sit in the mountains and eat in the sky. Clothes, food, housing and transportation all need money. Especially now that the cold weather is the easiest to get sick, and it takes more money to see a doctor and catch medicine.
In short, the reality before them is: money, money, money!
The job of washing clothes must not last long. She has to go out and try to find other jobs.
Li Jingnan listened and wrinkled her small face. "But your accent is strange..."
He was worried that Hua Qingxue caused suspicion from Liao people.
Hua Qingxue shrugged. "It's better than going out. You can only play dumb when you go out."
Li Jingnan spoke pure Daqi mandarin and knew that he came from Shengjing.
Hua Qingxue said that Li Jingnan was not easy to object.
He bowed his head down, his voice muffled: "Then you go..."
The little guy seems a little awkward.
Hua Qingxue has long been accustomed to his arrogant temperament, and said with a smile: "I will come back earlier."
She imitated the woman here, barely managed to save her hair, wrapped a headscarf, and her gray clothes were like ordinary village women.
With the reflection of the water in the tub, Hua Qingxue was convinced that his appearance would not attract anyone's attention before he left the house.
On the street, Hua Qingxue went directly to Fengle Building.
Before doing laundry, she met the Aunt Yan in the kitchen of Fengle Building. When Aunt Yan heard that Hua Qingxue would settle the accounts, she told her passionately that the shop was planning to hire a helper who could do the calculation.
Hua Qingxue came here today to see the shopkeeper.
Right now it's not time for meals, there is no one in the restaurant, the shopkeeper is counting the bills at the desk.
Hua Qingxue walked over and asked softly, "Hello, I heard that you are recruiting workers here recently..."
"Don't move anymore." The head of the shopkeeper didn't lift it, he refused.
Hua Qingxue was stunned for a while. "No longer?" The shopkeeper, I will write and settle accounts. If you don't believe me, you can test me."
The shopkeeper sighed and waved his hand, "Little girl, it's not that I don't believe you, I really do good for the girl, you can't do this job of helping."
Hua Qingxue became more and more puzzled.
Good for her? Where does this start...
The shopkeeper no longer ignored her, glanced at the outside, shook his head and sighed, "Ah... this world now..."
Hua Qingxue also looked outside, and saw that Liao Bing, who was patrolling the streets, was pulling a girl, and behind him was a white-haired old man who begged.
The girl was only twelve or thirteen years old, with no expression on her face. There was deep panic in her eyes and she couldn't even scream. She had a distinctive slap mark on her face, dragging her forward like a lifeless puppet Ren Liaobing.
The old man with white hair was pulled by Liao Bing and was pushed down by one of them. At this time a young strong man came out of the street. He lifted the old man who fell, but was stabbed by Liao Bing from the back!
Blood splattered the old man's face. When Liao Bing drew his sword, something white and red fell out of the man's body—
The old man was terrified at once, and the two Liao soldiers shouted and scolded in the street for a while, and when no one dared to speak on the street, they dragged the girl away.
The whole street is as quiet as a graveyard.
Hua Qingxue watched the whole process with breath...
She bit her lower lip and tried to control her body not to tremble too much.
She knew what she saw! She also knew she could do nothing! Her entire head was made of wood, as if it was hammered by something!
Her cognition, placed in this world, is a joke!
What laws, what human rights, these are all jokes!
But why, why did God let her appear here?
This is not her world!
A hand holding a veil stretched out, Hua Qingxue stared at him.
The shopkeeper tucked the veil into her hand. "Don't cry, go back and go out less in the future. I will let Rongsheng go to get the clothes."
Is she crying?
Hua Qingxue wiped her face, and it was really wet. She wanted to smile at the shopkeeper's thanks, but couldn't laugh. She thought that her expression at this moment must be ugly...
