I didn't expect this girl to be so alert, but as a professional spy, Zhang Lijin naturally explained her identity casually, "It's normal that you haven't met me. Xingyan and I have known each other for a long time. We used to live on the same street, and she often came to my house to play. We got to know each other after we went back and forth. I was kidnapped after you, so when I saw Xingyan that day, I didn’t dare to recognize each other rashly, for fear of meeting someone. What danger would they cause to each other? It’s just that I have been paying attention to Xingyan. If I hadn’t seen her in the past few days, I wouldn’t have found her here. "
Zhang Lijin thought that what she said was watertight. However, after listening to her words, the girl became even more wary of her, "Who are you? I have never heard Xingyan mention that she knows you. Moreover, Xingyan and I were friends on the same street. It’s impossible for Xingyan to know the people on this street, but I don’t know them?”
Unexpectedly, this girl and Lu Xingyan still had a small relationship. Suddenly, Zhang Lijin felt that she could no longer tell lies.
When the girl saw that Zhang Lijin was silent, she shouted loudly, "If you don't tell me the truth, don't blame me for calling someone."
Hearing what the girl said, Zhang Lijin immediately waved her hands and said, "No! Don't! Don't! I'm really not a bad person!"
"Then who are you? What do you want to do with Xingyan?" the girl asked.
Zhang Lijin could only sigh and said, "Since you know Lu Xingyan, you should also know Lu Xingyan's father, right?"
The girl nodded hesitantly after hearing this.
"Then why don't you help me find out if the old man outside is Lu Xingyan's father?" Zhang Lijin said in a low voice.
When the girl heard this, she was very surprised, but compared with her surprise, she only had a glimmer of hope in her heart.
Therefore, she finally nodded in response to Zhang Lijin's words. Then she put on her clothes and only opened a small slit in the felt blanket.
Through the small gap, the girl could see a slightly stooped but sturdy old man standing outside.
Looking from the side, the girl couldn't help but blush slightly. Zhang Lijin asked in a low voice, "Is he Lu Xingyan's father?"
The girl nodded silently.
Then when the girl looked at Zhang Lijin again, her eyes were red: "Are you here to save us?"
Zhang Lijin couldn't answer the question for a while.
When the girl saw that Zhang Lijin didn't say anything, she knew the answer. She was a little disappointed and said, "Then can I say a few words to Uncle Lu?"
Zhang Lijin nodded cooperatively.
Then Zhang Lijin took the initiative to lead the girl out of the tent.
At this time, the girl was obviously a little excited to see Lu Xingyan's father. She just called out "Uncle Lu" in a trembling voice.
When he heard someone calling him, Old Man Lu couldn't help but turn around and look at the girl.
When he didn't want to see the girl, Old Man Lu was also stunned. After a while, he said hoarsely, "Girl Huan, why are you here?"
After hearing Old Man Lu's words, the girl called Huan Yatou's eyes became even darker.
"My parents wanted to give my brother money to get a wife, so they sold me."
Old Man Lu was obviously stunned when he heard this, and then he just scolded you, "Your parents are really nothing. They are all children born by themselves. How could you do such a bastard thing? Now I It’s too late to look for Yan’er everywhere, how could they do such a bastard thing?”
Hearing Old Man Lu's scolding, the girl didn't say a word. Although all parents in the world are bad, she actually felt cold after she was sold by her own parents. Although they were also deceived, they only heard people say The idea was to marry her off to a man in a nearby town who could not give birth to a son as a concubine. After a son and a half were born, she could be raised as a good concubine and enjoy happiness. They had just agreed to exchange themselves for money.
But no matter what the situation was, she couldn't forget that she was sold by her parents, not to mention that she was not a concubine now, but was sold directly to a place like this where she was unfamiliar with her life as a slave girl.
In the past, her life at home was poor and miserable. Because she was a girl, she was the last one to eat at home. Everyone thought she was a burden, even her own mother thought so. She thought that she was the last one to eat. No matter how miserable I am, it will never be worse than at home
More bitter.
However, when she came here, she realized that all the suffering she had suffered in the past was nothing. Not to mention whether she could have a full stomach and the endless work, even if she was not careful, she could be killed at any time. thing.
Therefore, when Old Man Lu scolded her parents, she did not speak out to defend him. Instead, she just felt sad when she thought of her own situation.
When Old Man Lu saw that the girl's eyes were red, he naturally said no more. He just said, "Girl Huan, if you want to go back, I will take you back."
Hearing what the other party said, the girl raised her head in shock. Although she might still be sold after she goes back, her life is in danger here.
Therefore, she only had a glimmer of hope and said, "Uncle Lu, is what you said true?"
Old Man Lu sighed and said, "You can still have a break. You and Yan'er have been playing together since childhood and you have always called me uncle. Now that you are in this situation, can I, the uncle, still let you go?"
"When I find Yan'er, I will take you home. At that time, I will go to your parents in person and talk to you. If it doesn't work, I can introduce you to a reliable husband! You can't let them abuse you like this again. Already." Old Man Lu said in a muffled voice.
When she heard that Old Man Lu was not only taking her away from here, but also helping her get rid of her parents, the girl burst into tears instantly.
However, she did not dare to cry too loudly, for fear of alerting the patrolling soldiers, but then she knelt down in front of Old Man Lu and said, "Uncle Lu, I really didn't expect you to come here. You are so kind to me. But there is one thing I have to tell you."
Old Man Lu helped Huan Yatou and said, "What's the matter? Could it be that you know the news about Yan'er?"
Hearing this, the girl nodded silently.
Seeing that the other party had really found Lu Xingyan's whereabouts, Old Man Lu almost cried out in joy, "Where is Yan'er? Let her come out quickly. Just say that I won't be angry with her anymore. If she wants to be with that little scholar, then we can be together." , Dad will never oppose her again."
However, after hearing Old Man Lu's urging, the girl made no move at all, and her tears seemed to be flowing more and more violently at this moment.
"Uncle Lu, I'm sorry for you. I didn't protect Yan'er well. Yan'er...she may be dead." The girl said in a trembling voice.
When Old Man Lu heard this, he just screamed. It took him a long time before he murmured, "How could that be?"
But the girl said seriously, "It's true. We were brought over to accompany us at the big banquet in the camp a few days ago. During that time, for some unknown reason, a very gloomy man sitting at the guest of honor suddenly suddenly He was so angry that he first ordered someone to drag out a few dancers, and then he pointed out a few girls who were accompanying him at the guest table, and Yan'er happened to be among them. After that, those girls and Yan'er were dragged out, and they were never seen again. came back."
"I wanted to go find Yan'er, but we don't have freedom, so I didn't dare to go to Yan'er. Uncle Lu, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect Yan'er well."
Hearing this, Old Man Lu's eyes instantly lost their luster. He only had a daughter. After his wife died, the father and daughter had been dependent on each other. He was guarding the city in the west of the city, and Yan'er took over all the household chores. His Yan'er had always been very well-behaved and almost never needed to worry about him. However, as his daughter grew older, he also realized that sooner or later, his daughter would have a baby. Ri is also going to get married, but he is somewhat reluctant to let go of his daughter, so he wants to marry his daughter nearby. During this period, he also asked Yaner to meet the young city guard, or some people in Guanyuan Town. People who do small business, but Yan'er doesn't like them at all.
Soon after, he discovered that the reason why his daughter was dissatisfied with the person he arranged was actually because she already had a sweetheart. In fact, if the other person was reliable, he wouldn't mind letting Yan'er marry that young man.
However, the scholar could not lift it with his shoulders or carry it with his hands. Naturally, he despised the scholar, not to mention that the scholar was not from the town. His family was still thousands of miles away. If Yan'er married him, she would suffer a lot in the future. Moreover, it would be difficult for father and daughter to see each other in the future, so he disapproved of the marriage.
Yan'er was also obsessed with the scholar, and neither of them wanted to recognize each other. Then the father and daughter had a fierce quarrel.
He said some very exaggerated words to Yan'er, and then
Yan'er ran out crying. ..
He was also upset at that time, so he just let Yan'er go. He didn't want to think that if he left, the father and daughter would be in a dilemma of life and death.
Thinking of this, Old Man Lu's cloudy eyes couldn't help but shed silent tears.
After Zhang Lijin heard what the girl said, her heart skipped a beat.
If she was talking about the banquet that day, then Old Man Lu's daughter must be gone. After all, in order to gain He Rong's trust, almost all of the girls who were dragged out died at her own hands.
And later she also picked up a very symbolic longevity lock. She remembered that the word "Yan" was engraved on the lock.
Could it be that the longevity lock belonged to Lu Xingyan?
Thinking of this, she unconsciously took out the longevity lock that she had put away by mistake before and handed it to Old Man Lu. Then she whispered, "Uncle Lu, look to see if this is Lu Xingyan's longevity lock."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Lu immediately turned his head and looked over.
Then when he saw clearly the word "Yan" engraved on the longevity lock, Uncle Lu's eyes immediately turned red. At the same time, the hand holding the longevity lock began to shake slightly uncontrollably.
He turned to look at Zhang Lijin and said, "This is indeed my daughter's longevity lock. This was the longevity lock that her mother got for her shortly after she was born."
