Yu Hui is at home. Weaving in the yard. He is seventeen years old and has a thirty-seven-year-old face. He is as thin as skin and bones, and his hair is dry and split. Furry.
Anyone can tell at a glance that she is not doing well.
Thinking about it, she was sent out before she even had a hairpin. If her parents' family accepted a betrothal gift, it would be equivalent to selling her away. I had a bad conscience and sold it to such an old man. If you can live a good life, you've seen a ghost.
Di Ying did not enter the hospital either.
During this period, everyone in the family who could still carry a hoe went to the ground. Spring plowing in March can be busy.
He was a middle-aged man, and the other party was still such a young wife. He didn't dare to enter the hospital casually and cause trouble for others.
The old man was definitely on guard. Even if Yu Hui said one more word to any young man, he might get a good beating.
Di Ying pretended to be asking for directions and asked for directions through the open courtyard door.
Yu Hui raised her head numbly after hearing the question. Her eyes that had lost their luster looked at the people outside the hospital, then she raised her finger and pointed in one direction without speaking.
Di Ying knelt down and turned her head to talk to the person. "Sister, I'm curious to ask something? I heard that on the day your mother died, you were playing with the children in this village. Do you still remember if there were any strangers who passed by the village? ah?"
This was indeed an abrupt and rude question, but Di Ying had no choice but to go straight to the point.
In fact, people from the government back then also asked these questions. But Yu Hui and her brothers and sisters were all frightened at that time.
Because Si Yanhui's body was discovered by her mother-in-law when she was looking for her after taking a nap. The woman screamed and ran out of the house, alerting the women who stayed at home doing work.
Then there were more screams, alarming the children playing at the end of the village. The children ran back to see. Some were stopped, some were not.
Those who were not stopped in the end were shocked to see it.
No one stopped Yu Hui and her brothers and sisters, so they just watched. Several children were frightened and fell ill. Her younger sister was the most frightened. She didn't survive and followed Si Yanhui a few days later.
Yu Hui and her two younger brothers survived. But after that, Yu Hui also became a little demented.
It's not serious, it's just that the reaction is a little slow.
When the government asked questions, nothing came out. Not even the children asked anything.
Some families don't allow them to come into contact with their children, for fear of scaring them again.
People in the government are not easy to force.
When asked later, the children remembered nothing.
Yu Hui did remember it. She was already ten years old at the time, and she was accompanying her younger brothers and sisters, saying they were going to play, but actually they were just taking care of them, so her mind was not entirely focused on playing.
After hearing the question, Yu Hui was stunned for a while before nodding.
He replied slowly: "There is an aunt, I have never seen her."
"Then do you still remember what she looks like?" Di Ying asked cautiously.
After Yu Hui was stunned for a few more breaths, she slowly shook her head. He replied: "The lady has her head lowered and is walking in a hurry. She is carrying a small basket. She doesn't look good. One of her friends even laughed at her because her face looks like chicken skin. I didn't look at her too much because I thought it was scary."
Di Ying's voice slowed down and became gentler. Taking advantage of Yu Hui's memory, she immediately asked: "Do you still remember what was in her little basket?"
Yu Hui shook her head a little faster this time and answered a little faster. "You can't see it. It's covered with a piece of black embroidered cloth."
Di Ying stopped asking. He thanked Yu Hui and warned: "Don't tell anyone about my visit, and don't mention these words to others again. Do you understand?"
Yu Hui nodded numbly, then lowered his head and continued to pull the loom to make a "buzzing" sound. It was as if nothing had happened.
Di Ying sighed quietly and turned back to the village, preparing to ask the old ladies for more questions.
Before he had gone fifty meters, he was stopped by Xie Jing.
He raised his eyebrows and smiled flirtatiously: "Sir, you can leave the job of asking for information to me. I have such a lovely face."
Di Ying: "...You look pretty much the same at first glance."
After saying that, he opened Xie Jing's face and motioned for him to continue to stay on the roof.
Zhou Lin said at this time: "He can do it."
Xie Jing turned around and "floated" back to the adults, blinking hard: "I'm really good at it. My senior brother doesn't lie. Think about it, we two senior brothers have been tracking Wei Zhi for several years. His whereabouts are erratic, treacherous and hard to find. I found out all of this. Trust me, sir."
Di Ying glanced at him and then nodded in agreement.
Xie Jing smiled so much that her peach blossoms bloomed.
Then he sat down on the ground, rolled on the spot several times, got up again, wiped his face, and sniffed.
In the blink of an eye, he changed from a handsome and handsome young man to a pitiful child without a mother.
Especially those watery eyes... people can't help but feel pity when they see them.
Di Ying: "..."
What kind of evil had he done... He waved his hand wordlessly, motioning for him to go quickly.
Di Ying himself went to sit under a big tree in the village.
Then, just watching Xie Jing go from one house to another and then to the next...
The length of time you go in is variable, but when you come out, you are greeted with tears of bitterness, this thing is given to that person, and gifts are given out.
Xie Jing always looked reluctant and longing for her.
There was an aunt who kept scratching the door frame and watched him go away before returning to the house.
Di Ying: "..."
Talent. I found a treasure.
Peng Liang also felt the same way. Lying on the tree, he whispered to the adult under the tree: "Sir, you picked up this treasure...don't let them go in the future."
"nonsense."
Di Ying glanced upward at Peng Liang, then looked at Xie Jing's back as he walked away, that lonely and pitiful back...
He sighed and said: "They are both good at martial arts and good-looking. They are also affectionate and righteous, and know how to repay kindness. They are rare good children. It would be a pity to follow me. When we return to the capital city, I recommend them to go to Jinwu Guard Zhang Dayu’s men. A place like that is the place they should stay."
"I'm not going." Zhou Lin interrupted directly and firmly stated his brother's position. Two more words were added to make it very clear that only Mr. Di would be followed.
"With you."
Di Ying: "...What are you following? It's a waste of talent."
Zhou Lin: "With you."
Di Ying: "...if you follow me, you must follow my arrangements. You will follow my arrangements."
Zhou Lin: "With you."
Di Ying: "..."
The most unspeakable thing in his life is someone like Zhou Lin.
