Pluto loves me secretly

Chapter 17 Zhou Yu's past

One year, there was a severe drought in the south of Wu State, and the people suffered unspeakably.The drought lasted for more than two months, and one day suddenly dark clouds covered and heavy rain fell. At the same time, a child was born in a small village in the south.

His parents are the most ordinary farmers, who have not read any books. The farmer is holding the newborn child with a smile, watching the heavy rain outside the window.The newborn child could barely open his eyes, and heard his father say with a smile: "This child is called Zhou Yu, and he is the lucky star of my old Zhou family!"

Zhou Yu has been very intelligent since she was a child. She was articulate when she was one year old, and she was very popular with the neighbors.As a result, when he was two years old, Zhou Yu's parents died in a fire, and Zhou Yu survived because he happened to be playing in another house.

Zhou Yu's parents were gone, and the villagers were embarrassed, and the family didn't have any extra money to raise the child, so they discussed with everyone to raise the child together.Children from other families eat their own food, not every family is really willing.Zhou Yu understood from a young age that people's minds are very complicated.He may smile when there are others, but when there are no others, he will be given bad food, let him sleep in the woodshed, scolded him for losing money, and warned him not to speak out.

The little Zhou Yu was ignorant, and when he was crying for his mother, he was often left aside and ignored. This kind of life lasted for two or three years. When the war broke out, the whole village fled, and he was finally completely abandoned.

Now he was really homeless, and Zhou Yu started his wandering career.

In times of war, the world is not very peaceful, and many people become refugees and beggars. Zhou Yu, a three-year-old baby, naturally becomes one of the beggars.Zhou Yu is too young, nothing can compare to other beggars, and it is precisely because of this that when everyone fights for territory, they will let this poor little baby go, and give him a small place to settle at night, and there will even be kind people The beggar secretly gave him some food, and Zhou Yu survived like this.

It wasn't until he was six years old that the world became more peaceful, and Zhou Yu's life became easier. One day, he was begging on the road as usual, and met a down-and-out middle-aged scholar.That day, the streets were crowded with people, and middle-aged scholars bumped into the road as if they had lost their souls, causing waves of curses. When they saw Zhou Yu huddled in a corner, he suddenly went crazy and hugged this dirty, smelly little boy. The beggar burst into tears.

Passers-by looked at it coldly, watched it like a joke for a while, and left feeling bored.

When Zhou Yu was hugged suddenly, he didn't know what to do, and he was a little scared, but he didn't cry at all. In the past few years, he knew that crying was useless.The scholar was very thin, and his bones ached. He also changed from being unable to push away at the beginning to not wanting to push away.In this way, he felt the warmth in the hoarse and ugly crying of this strange scholar.

The scholar saved him and became an indelible light in his life in such an unreasonable way.

After crying, the scholar asked him if he wanted to go home with him.

He never believed that there would be such a good thing in the world, but for some reason, looking at the bloodshot eyes of this strange man, Zhou Yu agreed.

The scholar's home is not quite what Zhou Yu imagined. It is a clean small yard. It can be seen that his parents have lived a good life. Although there is nothing in the house, it is the best house that Zhou Yu has ever lived in.After the scholar led him in, he didn't say much and asked him to wait in the lobby before cooking.

Zhou Yu looked at his dirty and blackened clothes, and didn't dare to sit on the stool, and didn't dare to walk around, for fear of dirtying the scholar's things, so when the scholar came over after cooking, he found him standing there all the time He didn't move at all, so he called him dumbfounded to come over and sit down for dinner.

The scholar cooked a meal with a small amount of rice at home. There was only one vegetable and a bowl of pickled vegetables. It was such a simple meal, which made Zhou Yu salivate.He stood on the side pinching the corner of his clothes uneasily.

The scholar seemed to see what was going on in his heart, and said, "There is a well in the backyard, and there is water beside it, go wash your hands and come over to eat."

Zhou Yu listened, looked at the unwiped tears on the scholar's face and the deliberate smile, ran to the backyard without saying a word, washed his hands and face with all his strength, and went after making sure they were clean. lobby.

Sitting on the stool, he felt that all this was unreal, maybe it was a dream, and he was about to wake up soon.The scholar served a bowl of rice for himself and him, indicating that he could start eating. He held the bowl and used the chopsticks jerkyly. He burst into tears after taking the first bite under the scholar's caring and sad eyes.

That cry was loud and frightening, just like the rain on the day he was born, it was sudden and powerful.

The down-and-out scholar looked at the child who was crying so hard that he was at a loss for a moment, and it seemed that he really came back to his senses at this moment, as if he had found his own soul, and his eyes were no longer empty.He hugged the poor child again as before, and wiped away the tears on Zhou Yu's face with his big bony hands, but wiped more and more, as if he could never wipe it clean, so he had to hug him, like Shaking gently like coaxing a child.

In this embrace, Zhou Yu unscrupulously vented the grievances hidden in his heart for the past few years, and was finally treated like a child with tenderness.

It was many years later that he realized why the streets were so lively that day, and there were people coming and going, because there would be an exam on that day, and that down-and-out scholar was one of the frustrated people.

The scholar's surname is Wei Mingqing. He is in his forties. His father was a businessman. Later, his family fell into poverty, leaving only this courtyard. He failed in the scientific examination for half his life.

Wei Qing led him to a small room, arranged the bedding for him, let him take a bath, and took clean but much bigger clothes for him to wear and sleep.

"Tomorrow I will go to my father's friend to find a job, so you can rest at home."

The word "family" suddenly pierced into his heart, and he hesitated before speaking to Wei Qing for the first time, "I... I can do things too. Really, I have great strength."

Wei Qing saw the panic in his eyes, touched his wet head, "You can rest at home, after you rest, you can help with things, okay?"

The voice was tired, but very gentle.Zhou Yu still felt that all this was like a dream, and before Wei Qing closed the door of his room, he called out to him: "Sir, my name is Zhou Yu."

The figure in front of the door was stunned for a moment, then turned around and nodded to him, and said with a smile, "Got it, Xiao Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu stayed like this, Wei Qing bought him new clothes, taught him how to read, read, and understand things. He fearfully accepted all the care the scholar gave him, and really fell in love with reading. Wei Qing was full of hope. And the unbearable eyes have the same ideals as the scholar.

In this way, Zhou Yu and Wei Qing lived a life of mutual dependence, supporting each other. In the fifth year, Wei Qing fell on the sickbed and left him forever, leaving the yard, half the room full of books and dreams to him. over him.

Zhou Yu kept his filial piety for three years with the gift of children and grandchildren.

Later, he lived the same life as Wei Qing when he was young, and embarked on the road of poor imperial examinations.

Huangtian paid off, Zhou Yu won three yuan in a row and was admitted to the first prize.

On the day when the rankings were released, he rejected all invitations, knelt in front of Wei Qing's grave, weeping like he did on the first day he met Wei Qing, but there was no longer the embrace that pulled him out of the haze.

On the second day, a piece of news shocked the whole country of Wu—the champion of the dynasty died tragically at home.

Zhou Yu probably understood what was going on. If he blocked someone else's path, they would get rid of him. That person was so powerful that he lost his life.He didn't want to pursue these anymore, except for those years when he lived with Wei Qing, he felt like a joke.

Now that his long-cherished wish has been fulfilled, it doesn't seem to matter that much to him whether the joke ends or not.His soul couldn't live without this small courtyard, so he looked at this courtyard before and after on this night when he lost his life, and the more he looked at it, the more he couldn't bear it.Even so, when the messenger came early the next morning, he was very calm.

He went to the ghost world with the errand, watched the scenery all the way like a tourist, and when he was about to drink Meng Po soup, a little ghost suddenly ran over to stop him, whispered a few words to Meng Po and let him go He goes with him.

Zhou Yu had already lost his thoughts, and it didn't matter to him where he went, so he just let him go without asking anything.

The little ghost didn't speak along the way, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard. This ghost world is really gloomy, and even this courtyard is pitch-black. When he entered the courtyard, he saw a group of ghosts in the hall. A table looked at him. There was a thick book on the table. The words on it were crooked and ugly. Zhou Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart.

To him, the ghosts in the room were all the same, with pale skin and dark clothes, only the one in the middle was different, he was taller and had a serious expression, which seemed a bit out of place with the other smiling ghosts.Zhou Yu guessed that they were probably in charge.

At this moment, a group of ghosts started talking one by one:

"Scholar, congratulations, you are the most unlucky person we selected this year!"

"Can you speak? What's the most unlucky thing to congratulate?"

"Not the most unlucky, he has passed away long ago, what's the matter with congratulations?"

"..."

Zhou Yu didn't understand for a while, why he still watched a group of ghosts quarreling when he was in the underworld, it was really messy when the ghosts quarreled!

However, Zhou Yu also figured out the ins and outs of what they said.The days in the ghost world are too boring, so a group of ghosts came up with an idea when they had nothing to do. Every year, one of the most unlucky people was selected to grant him one wish.And the one selected this year was him, the unlucky guy who died on the day he worked so hard to be the No. [-] scholar.

These ghosts really know how to have fun, Zhou Yu thought.

"Stop making noise." As soon as the ghost in the middle finished speaking, they quickly quieted down.Then Zhou Yu heard the man ask, "What do you want?"

This ghost world of Heibu Longdong is really comfortable, unlike that of the human world, where the daytime is terribly bright, and the sun can't clearly illuminate people's hearts.He looked into the man's dark eyes and said flatly, "I want to stay."

The author has something to say:

Since then, there has been a secretary in the ghost world, hehe
