The north wind howled violently, picking up fine snow particles and crackling on the window lattice.
Wherever he looked, there were dancing firelights, broken curtains, scarlet blood... The torn Luo Shang, mixed with an unknown person's severed limbs, were thrown in front of Li Qiu's eyes.
Li Qiu opened her mouth to scream, but she could only make a roar. The blood at the corner of her mouth had dried up. When she roared, the base of her broken tongue began to turn red again.
The man on his body was moaning excitedly, and his eyes seemed to be glowing red, as if the more painful Li Qiu was, the more satisfied he became.
I don't know how many men are waiting behind the man.
Li Qiu couldn't see the end at a glance, and all he saw were countless evil-smiling faces.
Fear, pain, despair, resentment... gnawed away at Li Qiu's body and mind.
She closed her eyes numbly, but suddenly a vicious yell came from her ears: "You little bitch, you are still pretending to be dead!"
Li Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, and what he saw was a woman's face.
The scarlet lips seemed to have just eaten human blood. Li Qiu was so frightened that he yelled and struggled to sit up.
"I just said this little bitch is pretending to be dead!"
The woman slapped Li Qiu hard, and five bright finger prints immediately appeared on Li Qiu's cheek.
"What time has it been? I'm still lying on the kang. Why don't you hurry up and cut the pig grass for me! I want to starve the old sow at home! There is still a litter of piglets waiting at home. If the old sow is hungry, If you make the little piggy starved of milk, I will beat you to death!"
Li Qiu rubbed her face, and it took her a long time to realize clearly that the woman in front of her, whose mouth was opening and closing constantly to curse, was none other than her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu.
While enduring the abuse from her mother-in-law, she recalled the nightmare she had just had.
Recently, she has had more and more dreams, and the feelings in her dreams have become more and more real. Is that day finally coming?
"You little bitch, how dare you be in a daze!"
Just as Ms. Liu was about to slap Li Qiu again, her second daughter-in-law, Chen Yunfang, grabbed her arm and said, "Mom, please be gentle. Li Qiu's skin and flesh are so tender. Don't ruin her face."
Chen Yunfang glanced at Li Qiu with a smile, pulled Ms. Liu to one side, and whispered to Ms. Liu: "In a few days, the old madam from Hong Xiu will be here. If I beat her out, she won't be able to sell her for a high price." .”
Mrs. Liu curled her lips: "She? Can one of my piglets be as valuable?"
"Mom, please do the math. If you sell her, you can make room for your third brother and sister. How rich your third brother and sister are. The little bit she has between her fingers is worth a dozen piglets..."
Li Qiu bit her lips tightly, hating her so much that she really wanted to strangle Chen Yunfang and Liu to death.
Red sleeve move! Isn't this the hell Rakshasa in her dream?
Half a year ago, Beginning of Autumn had a dream.
In the dream, she was sold by her husband's family to a place called Hongxiuzhao, where she was beaten and tortured all day long, but she also learned some skills in music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Later, the neighboring country's banner invaded the capital. In order to save their lives, the old bustard gave the girl's family to the banner army and allowed it to be destroyed by the banner army.
Li Qiu was tortured to death.
At first, Li Qiu didn't take it seriously, just thinking that he had a nightmare, but the feeling in the dream was very real.
But after having the same dream for more than ten days in a row, I couldn't sit still at the beginning of autumn.
So much so that later on, Li Qiu couldn't even distinguish between dreams and reality, and his heart really began to be filled with resentment for what his husband's family had done.
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to think about it.
She was the child bride of the Zhang family. She ate less, worked more, and was beaten and scolded every day. This was all what she deserved. How could she resent her husband's family?
What even made her scratch her head and couldn't figure it out was that she could actually read and write like in her dream.
At the beginning of autumn, I started to pay attention to the things around me.
Comparing the time points in the dream one by one, they all matched up!
Even the fact that Xianggong Zhang You was admitted as a scholar was not bad at all.
If this is the case, then her husband's plan to sell her into the red sleeves trick might come true.
But from March, when Zhang You was selected as a scholar, until June, her husband's family never showed any signs of selling her.
Liqiu gradually felt relieved, thinking that he had a romantic relationship and learned to read and write in his dream.
She didn't tell anyone about it, not even her sister-in-law Qiu Ju, who was the best to her.
I thought that this matter would pass slowly, but today I heard the words "Red Sleeve Move" from Chen Yunfang again.
Her husband's family was actually planning to sell her!
Thinking of everything in the dream, Li Qiu couldn't help but feel cold from the bottom of his heart.
She must not end up like the one in her dream. She must escape from the Zhang family and this nightmare!
Carrying the basket on his back, he staggered out of the house and bumped into Zhang Erga.
He greeted Li Qiu with a smile, his eyes glued to Li Qiu's face greedily: "Li Qiu, aren't you sick? Why do you still go to work? Come on, let the second brother see if you are still hot."
After saying this, Zhang Erga's hand went up to Li Qiu's back and touched all the way down.
"Zhang Erga!"
Li Qiu kicked Zhang Erga's calf hard: "Be respectful! I am your third sibling!"
Zhang Erga was in pain and was no longer polite to Li Qiu.
"What are you talking about, third brother? My third brother has been admitted as a scholar, and he still wants you as a child bride? To tell you the truth, Mr. Huang, the landowner in the town, has taken a fancy to his third brother and wants to marry his daughter to him!"
Li Qiu gritted his teeth and faced the person in his dream again.
In the dream, it was precisely because Zhang You wanted to marry this young lady from the Huang family and thought she was an eyesore that the Zhang family sold her into the Red Sleeves.
Zhang Erga was still making noises: "Li Qiu, if you are smart, you will obey me. I will beg my mother to ask you to follow me as a child and not have to suffer in that dirty place. What do you think..."
"You Zhang Erga, how dare you cheat on me behind my back!"
Chen Yunfang rushed out at some point, grabbed Zhang Erga's ears, and spat in his face: "I'm pregnant because of you, but you went behind my back and got together with this little bitch. See how I deal with you!"
She dragged Zhang Erga home, and from time to time she turned around and glared at Li Qiu: "You are a natural fox, I am really disappointed to have you in the Zhang family! Just wait, in a few days, I will let you taste what a hard life is!"
Li Qiu shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Isn't her life hard enough?
Even if he is sick, he still has to get up early to work. He dares not take a breath even one of the three hundred and sixty-five days a year.
When will days like this end?
She touched the straw grasshopper in her purse and pinched her palms to encourage herself.
Soon, soon, if she bites the bullet again, she will definitely jump out of the fire pit of the Zhang family.
The weather in June changes at a moment’s notice. The sun was blazing just a moment ago, but in the blink of an eye it’s stormy.
In Beginning of Autumn, I was trotting home with a basket full of pitcher plants on my back. When I saw the donkey cart in front of my house, I was trembling with fear.
She stared at the donkey cart for a long time despite the wind and rain, almost biting her lip, before she regained her composure.
Counting the days, this day has arrived.
I was about to go home when I heard someone shouting behind me.
"Liqiu! Run!"
