Ah Chang

Chapter 3 Cloud

A Chang pushed the door and went in, and a gleam of rejoicing flashed in her heart when she saw the girl. For some reason, she was a little glad that the girl hadn't left.

The girl seemed to have expected that A-Shang would come early in the morning, so she just sat calmly, smiling slightly with her eyebrows bent. A-Shang found that the girl's complexion was much better than it was five days ago. Except that her lips were still a little pale, she had nothing to worry about. Yet to happen.

"You obviously haven't touched those meals, how could it be..."

A Chang was secretly puzzled, the girl walked up to her, raised her hand to try to remove the remaining blood on her cheek, A Chang's body shook, and she took two steps back.

The girl chuckled and wiped her hands: "It seems Madam was quite frightened."

"Is it you..." A Chang folded her hands in front of her body, her eyes were full of vigilance, she didn't want the girl to spy on her thoughts, but at the first glance she felt that her mind was hollowed out for a moment.

"See no evil, hear no evil."

The girl turned her back and turned her wrist, Ah Shang noticed some fresh blood oozing from her arm.

The girl's injury doesn't seem to be healed yet.

"You...what did you do to him..."

"The madam is referring to that man..." the girl turned her eyes away when she heard the words: "Or your husband?"

"..." A Chang couldn't answer, she had too many questions in her mind that needed an answer, but she didn't know how to speak for a while, the girl knew what she was thinking, and continued: "I just gave them a little warning Forget it, if Madam really cares about her husband, why don't you go and see for yourself, why did you come here first?"

The girl's words were alluding to the conjecture in Ah Shang's heart. She habitually pressed her lips together and only asked, "What do you want me to do for you..."

----------

It was just dawn when Ah Shang came out from the girl, and she went directly to the place where the man would be without hesitation.

The man coughed non-stop behind the bed curtain, seeing A-Shang coming in, he didn't ask her where she was last night, nor urged her to fetch the medicine.The two were silent to each other through the bed curtain, Ah Shang caught a glimpse of the blood on the ground in his lowered eyes, the man's eye was injured, it was the one peeping behind the screen.

Everything in front of her once again confirmed the conjecture in A-Shang's heart. Something seemed to be falling heavily in her heart. After taking a deep breath, A-Shang lifted the curtain of the bed. She had never made such a bold move before. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he didn't say anything. A Chang pretended not to see the man's injured eyes, and didn't say a word about what happened last night. He only said that he would get the man's medicine immediately, and then backed out.

After coming out of the house, the sky was completely bright, and the sun was pouring down on her body, but Ah Chang couldn't feel any warmth. She only felt that the frost of the night condensed together with her breathing, and she felt a little out of breath.

---------

It was night, A Chang came to the girl's room again, she brought hot water according to the girl's request, the girl said she wanted to take a bath, the blood all over her body was really smelly.

Hot water filled the tub, and Ah Chang was about to leave, but the girl stopped her: "Madam, you don't have to go out, it's okay to stay here."

"Can......"

"We are all women, so there is nothing to avoid, and Madam should have nowhere to go at this moment, isn't there?"

"Yes."

A Chang answered in her heart, she didn't want to go back to that room, the room where the man was, he made her feel scared and disgusted at the same time.

A Chang never said any vicious words, and even hesitated when thinking about it in her heart, but after experiencing everything last night, when she thought of the man again, her stomach felt as if it was overwhelmed.

"Ma'am, come and help me."

The girl's words pulled A-Shang back from her painful thoughts. A-Shang asked in a daze if she needed help. The girl slowly took off her clothes, revealing the injury on her arm: "My arm is not convenient yet."

"..."

A Chang understood what the girl meant, she brushed her hair around her ears and walked to the bathtub, and the girl took off all her clothes in front of her eyes.

A Chang thought, maybe this is the "skin whiter than snow, smooth as crisp" written in the book. The girl's body is slender and slender, with almost perfect curves, and every inch of her skin is firm and delicate. A Chang can't help but look In a daze, the girl flicked a drop of water towards her, and the water drop happened to land on the mole on the bridge of her nose. A Chang frowned, and the mole also frowned.

"It's so cute." The girl smiled lightly, and lightly tapped the mole she thought was very cute with her fingertips: "Madam's mole is really beautiful."

"..."

A Chang didn't know whether she blushed because of the girl's sudden praise or some intimacy. She shyly pushed the girl's hands away, only to find that the girl had a pair of very beautiful hands, with well-defined joints and slender fingers.

The girl only looked at her and smiled, bending the corners of her eyes and brows, seemingly friendly, but Ah Chang felt that there was some kind of danger lurking in this smile, the girl's smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, it only stayed at the corners of her eyes and brows.

"This mole is a mole that interferes with your husband..." Xu Shi felt that his actions just now were a bit rude, and A-Shang took the initiative to explain: "It's a symbol of unknown...Girl...don't touch it good."

"A mole that interferes with your husband?"

"Hmm..." A-Shang lowered her eyelashes, unable to hide her gloom: "It is said that a woman with a mole in this place will hinder her man's life..."

"Hahahaha." The girl's laughter followed A-Shang's words, and A-Shang raised her eyes again, and she saw the girl laughing, full of ridicule and disdain: "What's wrong with your husband, men are really good at it." Looking for a reason for my own failure, how absurd it is that even a mere mole can be charged with such a crime.”

"..."

A Chang did not answer, or she did not know how to answer, she has always felt inferior and even blamed herself because of the mole on the bridge of her nose, and felt that she was born with this mole as an unknown person. She believed it.

It was the first time anyone had told her it was such an absurd statement.

A Chang's pupils flickered slightly, and there was a strange throbbing in her heart. She couldn't tell what it was, but habitually lowered her head, avoiding everything she didn't know.

The girl did not continue the topic of the mole, but asked A Chang to help her wash her back. A Chang walked behind the girl with her eyelashes downcast. The girl's back was thin and straight, which should be like this habitually. A Chang guessed that the girl It should be someone who knows martial arts, whether it is martial arts or not, this is the case.

Thinking of martial arts, Ah Chang also found that the girl had no other injuries except the wound on her arm, but where did the blood all over her body come from...

The girl felt the hesitation of A Chang's subordinates, she turned her head to look at the bloody clothes on the ground: "Madam, don't worry, the blood probably doesn't belong to me."

"Not yours? Then..."

A Chang thought about it, but didn't dare to ask more.

The girl didn't continue, but suddenly asked: "Madam must have been bought?"

A Chang's hand stopped again because of these words, the girl turned her head and returned to the posture facing her back: "You have calluses on your hands, it doesn't look like Miss's hands."

"..."

A Chang looked at her palm, and immediately withdrew her hand, being recognized so directly, her face blushed again.

The girl didn't continue to ask about Ah Chang's life experience, but instead asked: "What's your name, madam?"

"I..."

"I mean, Madam's own name."

own name...

When A Chang was asked like this, she was dazed for a moment. How long had she not mentioned her name? It was so long that she couldn't remember it.

That's not a good name.

"Qingshang."

A Chang answered in a low voice, as if she was saying something that was hard to say.

"Qingshang..."

"The name was given by my father, who passed away not long after I was born... My mother said that the name Qingshang is a curse, and it means a lowly maidservant... So she always only calls me Ah skirts......"

"Qingshang means acacia, blooming and revolving leaves, dazzling and startling." The girl looked at her sideways, with mist and candlelight in her pupils: "Madam, Qingshang is not a lowly maidservant, but a beautiful flower."

"Beautiful..." A-Shang looked at the eyes in the mist and muttered: "Flowers..."

There was a smile in the corner of the girl's slightly raised eyes, A-Shang suddenly felt a little shy, turned her head away, and asked in order to hide her nervousness: "The girl...what's your name?"

The girl didn't answer, but said: "Madam, can you help me find it? Is there any mark on my body?"

"The imprint..." A Chang seemed to have not walked out of the girl's words just now, and after a while, she approached the girl's body: "Does it mean the birthmark?"

"Maybe." The girl paused, "I don't remember."

"Can not remember?"

The girl lost part of her memory. On that rainy night, she didn't remember everything about her life experience, what she was called, where she came from, where she was going, and how she got hurt.

A Chang pushed back the hair on the back of the girl's neck, and found a red mark on the back of the girl's neck, which looked like some kind of writing.

The girl asked A-Shang to draw the imprint with a pen and paper. From the slightly clumsy drawing, she knew that it was a word for "cloud".

"cloud?"

"That's right." The girl got up, and the mist filled the air. A Chang heard her say, "This should be my name."
