The waning moon hung on a thin branch, and a hand stretched out from the pile of corpses grasped the corner of my trousers. "Help me." The voice made my scalp tingle.
She is not a ghost, but the princess of Anping who miraculously survived the execution.
I am a retired soldier with nothing left, and only one honorable return card left on me.
I carried her back to the ruined temple where she lived and rubbed her back with white wine to reduce her fever.
In desperation, I remembered that the girl who fed me water three years ago also had such a pair of Bodhisattva-like eyes.
Until the pursuing officers and soldiers broke into the ruined temple, I hugged the ugly woman with red rash on her face and shouted "Mother"
The officers and soldiers covered their noses and ran away, almost crushing the door frame. But she is on the newly posted arrest list on the wall. She has bright eyes and white teeth, a rare beauty in the world.
The red gold and bronze medals of the ghost camp also disappeared and appeared as the princess fled...
[Please check for details]:
• The prescription for disfigurement comes from Volume 12 of "Zheng Lei Materia Medica" (Veratrum + Sophora flavescens does have the effect of causing rash)
• The pattern of the ghost camp's red gold and bronze medal refers to the fish talisman system of the Tang Dynasty's "Thousand Niu Guards Zuosijie"
• "Quanzhou", the fiefdom of King Yan, was taken from "Quanzhou, Lingnan Road" among the ten roads of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty
