"Little thief, there's no point in running away, why don't you just follow me and go back!"
A weak figure came walking through the snow. It wasn't until she got a little closer that she could see clearly. Her feet, which should have been cared for by her parents, were already red, and her toes were black and purple from being exposed to the cold for a longer period of time. , even a little faintly black.
Anyone with a little knowledge of medical skills would be able to tell at a glance that both of her feet were frostbitten. If this continued, they might not be able to save her feet.
However, she didn't care and continued to walk through the streets. Finally, she hid in a dark alley corner and got into a few messy baskets. When she heard chaotic footsteps walking away, she felt relieved and relaxed. Opening the dirty palms, the steamed buns covered with mud finally appeared.
Not caring at all about the mud and filth on the steamed bun, his childish eyes showed the light of hunger, and he quickly started to bite. But just after taking a bite of the steamed bun, the bamboo basket hiding it was suddenly opened.
"I found you, little bastard!" The man said fiercely, looking at the trembling girl in front of him.
"Uncle...I'm...I'm really hungry. This steamed bun...when I have money, I will pay it back to you." The girl seemed to be frightened by the man in front of her and spoke hurriedly.
The big man in front of him didn't listen to the thin girl's excuse. He picked up her small body and shouted to the people who were still searching in the alley: "I caught you, hurry up, I'm worth a lot of money this time!"
"Ha! You're still smart. You know where this little thief is hiding. Let's go back and sell it for a good price." Several people in front saw the man grabbing the girl, wiped the sweat off his face, and came forward with a smile. Come.
The girl didn't know what she was going to face. She just held the steamed bun that she finally got in her hand tightly, and looked in horror at the adults who were chasing after her just for the steamed bun that was thrown on the ground...
Murong Wu closed her eyes tightly but still turned quickly, her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was in a drowsy state when she saw the group of villains beating and scolding her wantonly, her hands clenched as if she was still holding the hard-earned steamed buns.
The "Old Madam", who was wearing heavy makeup, pinched the girl's thin face, pulled out a handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose in disgust, and waved her hands in disgust: "I said, the thing you are looking for this time is too small, isn't it? I still want to raise her. It took more than ten years to allow her to receive guests...five taels of silver!"
The evil man called "Lao San" by the "Old Bustard" was the man who discovered the hiding place of the girl earlier. He glanced at the "Old Bustard" with his eyes filled with anger, then grabbed the girl from his subordinates' hands and carried her up.
"Our good sister, what kind of world is this? The war has just ended. What we guys are doing is a life-threatening business. Now Qi Yun has established a country, this law has been promulgated, and this business is also We won’t be able to do this for a long time. Seeing as we have been working together for so long, we brothers don’t ask for excessive prices, fifty taels!”
When the "Old Madam" heard this, he immediately became anxious. He didn't care about the thick powder on his face falling down, he jumped up and started to exchange prices with several big men. Only the poor girl was still beaten. Carrying it, tears couldn't stop falling from the corners of my eyes...
Gu Xiaoben endured the pain and thought hard about why the masked man wanted to rescue Chun Yufu, and where the entrance to Murong Valley was in the valley. But when he saw the tears falling from the corners of the unconscious Murong Wu's eyes, he couldn't help but think of the man in green. woman in clothes.
Whether it was a fight to the death in Hejiabao or a puzzle in Yanbei City, all of this was to find her and Uncle Li. Seeing that they had finally found this place, they had to enter Degu Valley no matter what. If they delayed it for one more day, they would It will be a little more dangerous...
After making up his mind, Gu Xiao gave up the idea of healing. Since the clues in the remnant soul's mouth were useless, he could only try to wake up Miss Murong and let her take him into the valley.
Putting the sword away in the box, Gu Xiao walked to Murong Wu's side, his sword finger slightly pointed at her forehead, focusing on saving her... But Murong Wu got a trace of the young man's inner strength to penetrate into her body, and her frown gradually relaxed.
The pictures flashed alternately, the scene suddenly changed, and that happy time reappeared in Murong Wu's mind...
Although when she first entered Yixinyuan, the "Old Madam" often asked her to call her "Mother", and she pretended to be angry and scolded her when she refused, but she never beat or scolded her like that evil person.
As time went by, the girl also discovered that Yixinyuan did not seem like a dirty place. Although these sisters who were always in full bloom were drinking with the guests, they were not alone.
Wu, but never let guests stay overnight. Out of curiosity, he asked his sisters and found out the inside story.
It turns out that over the past few years, wars have resumed, and the women at the border have suffered disasters. At least their families have been destroyed, and at worst they have become the playthings of Jin people and bandits. This old bustard pretends to be happy, but in fact, he secretly takes in these war-torn women. As for the women in her family, she dealt with several parties, protecting these weak women who were homeless in troubled times, only letting them perform arts, but never selling themselves.
That day, I also saw the girl holding a dirty steamed bun, but being chased by a group of evil men, so I felt compassion and bought her.
"But... she is also a woman, how can she deal with those evil people?" The girl looked up and asked as if she didn't understand. Read the book
When the girls heard the girl's question, they quickly raised their sleeves to cover their faces and whispered in their ears: "Don't you know, our mother is a master of martial arts?"
"Master of martial arts?" The girl seems to have heard that masters of martial arts can fly over walls and fly over walls, soar into the clouds and ride in the mist, but she can never associate the "Old Madam" with the thick makeup on her face with the legendary master of martial arts.
Another woman also took the opportunity to come forward and whispered in the girl's ear: "Yes, if not so, how could our little Yixinyuan resist these evil people? There were sisters who accidentally , I heard my mother mention that she came out of some valley to find her daughter, it’s amazing!”
"Yes, yes, there was another time when some gangsters got drunk and insisted on dragging our sisters to sleep with them. Our mother only used a fan to kill these evil people out of Yixinyuan... .”
When the girl heard this, she suddenly understood and hurriedly asked: "Have you ever found...her daughter?"
Hearing this question, the faces of the sisters all darkened and they remained silent. After a long time, one of them said to the girl: "I heard that she did not hesitate to ruin her appearance in order to get out of that valley... I have never found her face yet." When it comes to her daughter... By the way, on the day I rescued you, I was on the sidelines and heard her say that you looked a lot like her daughter. I guess that was why I rescued you."
While several people were talking, they heard a scolding coming from the garden. The sisters looked sideways and saw the "Old Madam" waving a small fan in his hand. His face was covered with sweat. When he came, he saw everyone surrounding the girl and whispering. Speak immediately.
"You guys are lazy here again, but I'm exhausted. Go and accompany the guests quickly. If you slack off, be careful that I take away your money!"
Normally, the girl would have been disgusted when she heard the "Old Madam" reprimanding her. But today, when she heard these sisters talk about the reason, she suddenly understood, and when she looked at her face covered with makeup, she no longer seemed disgusted.
The small fan in his hand kept patting the women passing by. The "Old Madam" finally caught the girl's gaze. After thinking for a moment, he spoke in a stern tone again: "I said, what do you think I am doing? Go and help me." Stay focused..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the girl actually listened to her words and quickly went to the back hall. After a while, she actually held a brocade plate in her hand and went to the front hall...
The "Old Madam" looked at the weak figure in surprise, walking back and forth in the front and back of the hall, and for a moment he forgot to shake the small fan in his hand.
The moon is sweet and the night is deep.
After a busy day, the girl was so tired that she had already fallen asleep soundly on the couch. The door to the room was quietly pushed open, and the person who walked lightly into the girl's room was the "Old Madam". She walked quietly to the girl's couch and slowly Sitting low, I just looked at the sleeping face quietly. The face that had taken off the makeup was full of terrible scars, but the eyes were full of kindness and love...
While he was staring attentively, he saw the sleeping girl suddenly opening her eyes and looking at him steadily. The "Old Madam" got up in a hurry and almost fled to the outside of the room. He was afraid that the terrible scar on his face would scare the girl, but he As he approached the door, he was called by the girl.
"Are they telling the truth...Mother...Mother?"
A dozen simple words seemed to have stabbed the "Old Madam"'s body, and her body was slightly sluggish. Although there was no light in the room, the girl could feel her sobbing.
In the darkness, neither of them spoke. Perhaps it was the troubled times that made the girl sensible and not in a hurry to speak. She just sat on the couch and waited quietly until she stopped sobbing, turned around, and asked cautiously: "You ...What did you call me?"
The girl's eyes were like stars in the night in the dark room. She seemed to think carefully before speaking.
"My mother usually speaks coldly and harshly, but I misunderstood it. But from the words of my sisters, I found out the truth...Calm down and think carefully about these days. Although my mother is strict with everyone,...but... I am really protecting everyone, so...mother saved my life, and from now on, I will be your daughter."
The "Old Madam" just looked at the girl on the bed for a long time... a long time...
Not long after, the lights in the room were lit, and voices of narration were heard from time to time until dawn...
On the next day, the girls in Yixinyuan suddenly discovered something strange. The girl seemed to have no ill intentions towards her mother. Although the "Old Madam" still scolded her harshly, the girl happily responded to everything. They are busy with daily matters, but deep in the eyes of all the mothers, there is clearly a little bit of love and concern...
Gu Xiao, who was trying his best, didn't know that the girl he was trying to wake up at this moment was falling into the dream of the past. A smile appeared on her charming face, but not long after, her brows were frowning again.
Not long after such peaceful days, bandits attacked the city at night, burning, killing, and looting. There was a sea of blood in Yixinyuan. Although the mother used her martial arts to kill dozens of bandits under the watch of the girl, she was helpless. There are so many people, and after a while, they can no longer resist.
The women in Yixinyuan were also very strong-willed. They did not want to become the playthings of bandits and chose to commit suicide on their own. Some of them were really timid and did not dare to take action. They also begged their good sisters to kill themselves first before committing suicide...
The girl had never seen such blood. She stood in the sea of blood, trembling and watching everything. It was not until the sound of the door and window breaking that she came back to her senses. She saw her mother's hairpins scattered, wounds all over her body, and her hands tightly Holding a long sword, he broke through the door.
Naturally, she saw the scene of women committing suicide, and her eyes were filled with unbearable sadness. But when she saw the girl, she immediately calmed down, and when she made up her mind, she picked up the girl and used Qing Kung Fu to break through the window.
The girl, who was held in her mother's arms and jumped in the air, saw the tragedy in the city. The bandits were doing all kinds of evil. The originally peaceful city was like a hell...
But my mother's soft voice rang in my ears: "Close your eyes, and my mother will take you to a place where there will be no such tragedy!"
The girl didn't dare to look anymore. She listened to her mother's words and closed her eyes tightly. She only felt the whistling of the wind in her ears and the sound of her mother gasping for breath... I don't know how long she had been walking, but there were several cold sounds in her ears. Yan laughed, and then opened his eyes.
He had already left the city and was in the Shillong Mountains. Several figures in the forest had already surrounded the mother and daughter... Only then did he realize with horror that the person who surrounded them was the villain who caught him and sold him to his mother that day. Chinese.
"I didn't expect a kiln girl to have such skills. If we hadn't hired an expert, I might not be your match!" The evil man looked at the mother and daughter coldly and sneered.
But my mother was calm: "You want money, and plundering it is enough. Why are you chasing me?"
"Hahaha! Since you know me, how can I let you live... Look at you like this, the blood is almost gone? Why don't you kill me with your neck, I will give you a good reward, don't you think so, little brat? ?" The evil man looked up to the sky and smiled, and then he showed his fierceness and looked at the girl in the woman's arms.
