第1章 见死不救,心太狠1


Dong Yue Kingdom is vast and wide. It is very peaceful and and appears to be a very prosperous place. 

The Qu manor is very lively today. Apparently, someone very important will be visiting today. Despite the hustle and bustle, no one has noticed the happenings in one corner of the manor. 

  东岳国,四方平定,国泰民安,处处呈现一片繁荣。
  京城,曲尚书府内,今日也热闹非凡。
  据说是风华绝代的某大人物要来拜访。
  只是,热闹的气氛,并没有延伸到后院的某个角落。。


The wall of Qu manor is very high and quite frequently overwhelms the beholder. Previously the wall was not that high, but after a series of events, gradually the walls have been made higher. 

At that moment, in the back gardens, there's is a girl in green who has been standing there for quite some time. She has very long elegant eyebrows, with a pair of stunning brown eyes, a high straight nose, with small lips to match. Her face shows a look of resentment and grief which is accompanied by her fragile frame which looks like it may collapse at any time when blown by the wind. She really resembles Lin Dai Yu (character in The Red Mansions).


  院墙,很高,令人望而生畏。原本墙是并没这么高,但随着某一些事发生的次数多了,渐渐,就彻高了。
  此刻,后院的墙边上,伫立着一位绿衣女子,长长的睫毛下闪动着一双清澈灵动的大眼,高挺的俏鼻,小巧的嘴唇,脸上带着那股哀怨的神情,再配上貌似风一吹便会摇摇欲坠的身段……标准就是一个活版的林黛玉。

Two years have passed. If you say it's long it's not long, but if you say it's short it's also not short. However, within this time someone has felt suffocated and repressed. There has been all sorts of escape attempts within the past two years but they have all failed.  

Who would have thought she Qu Tan Er who is from the 21st century is now wearing ancient clothing and trying to climb a wall. That actually doesn't sound so bad, but even worse it seems like god has dumped her in this desolate and remote place with little sentimal appeal. 


A moment ago, wasn't she on a history tour looking at historical artifices from an unknown dynasty? She was really careless and decided to lie down on a beautiful ancient bed that dazzled the eyes. In the end this bed.... forget it. Normally when she didn't feel happy, she would think of drowning herself in the river, hanging herself by the noose, or drinking poison just to escape from this dog shit place. 
  两年了,说长,不长,说短,也不短,但却足可以把人给憋死。
  偏逃了两年,也失败了两年。
  想她曲檀儿,21世纪的新新人类,说的好听是学人家赶上一趟穿越时髦,难听点,就是老天把她丢在了这个鸟不拉屎又没人情味的地方。不就是跟着历史教授,跑了趟博物馆么?听说是新来一批不知何年代的古物,而她再很不小心地往那一张看着会令人头晕眼花的古床一躺,结果这一躺……算了,或许哪天她心情不好,想来个跳河,自刎,上吊,喝毒药,说不定会再走狗|屎运又给穿回去了。
 
However, today appears to be her best chance at escape.
Apparently, the security here today will not be as strict.
Apparently today everyone is too busy to mind her.
Apparently the whole of Qu Manor is waiting for the 8th prince to arrive.
Coincidentally, the 8th prince is also her arranged marriage partner.
Qu Tan Er gazes up at the wall with eyes touched with trickles of sadness. Her 10 fingers are knotted together as she ponders over what to do.  不过,今天是她逃走最佳时机——
  听说,今天后院这里不会守得那么严。
  听说,今天她那个所谓的爹正忙得很,顾不到她。
  听说,今天那个当朝颇得宫中各位头等大人物喜欢的八王爷要来。
  偏偏,这个八王爷刚刚是她被下旨赐婚的对象。
  曲檀儿幽幽地望着高墙,眼中闪过一抹哀怨,十指紧绞在一起,似在挣扎着什么。

A while later she bites her lips with raised eyebrows and asks herself "What is there to be afraid of? If I run off and my escape attempt fails then I will be subject to Qu Madam's domestic punishment. But after 10 days (approximately a month) I will have fully recovered!"

In the next moment after checking to make sure no one else was around she bent down and tied her skirt together in a knot and climbed the tree. 

  而后,她一咬薄唇,美眸闪出坚决,“怕什么怕?逃跑失败大不了再让曲老婆子来上一回家法?躺上十天半个月也就恢复了!”下一刻,在确定周围真的没有人时,她腰弯下来,双手放开,迅速地将裙角微微拉高,再快速地打了个结,往旁边一处小假山爬,再伺机踩到旁边一棵快摇摇欲坠的小树桠!
 

In the end, she managed to scale the wall. She was thinking of jumping down but after seeing the long drop that lay ahead she was afraid to proceed.

Even if she escaped, it would only be temporarily before someone noticed she was missing. Apart from bringing a few bank notes she had no other possessions. At this moment, she was berating herself over the face that she had not thought to bring a basket or a ladder. 
But her heart was wavering over whether to jump or not.
If she jumped she would die tragically.
If she didn't jump then the outcome would also be quite bad.
EH? There is someone outside?
 最后……
  当爬到墙边上的时候,她刚想往下跳,只是,下面的高度却让她心生惧意。
  由于逃跑的机会是临时发现的,除了带上几张银票,什么也没有。
  这时候,倒恨自己怎么就没一条绳子或者梯子什么的!
  但现在不逃,她又心有不甘。
  跳,她会死得很难看。
  不跳,下场会更惨。
  咦?巷外有人?

Looking at that person, for a moment Qu Tan Er was mesmerized. Even if she did not see his face clearly, she could feel he was very handsome and attractive. 

Dressed in gold and white gown with cypress edging, he had an impeccable posture. He resembled the misty white clouds on the mountain and the night sky under the faint rain. Qu Tan Er was left speechless.
  看着那人,有那么一瞬间,曲檀儿也愣了愣神。虽没有见清面容,却已经感觉到那人的绝美风华。一袭锦白长衫,裹着翠柏青松般无可挑剔的身姿,轻摇折扇,款款悠悠漫步而至,像青山上飘渺的白云,夜色下幽幽的流水……
  但很快,曲檀儿不以为然地撇了撇小嘴。
  NND,这厮估计也是一个装|B的货。
